Good. Could the nation go bankrupt extending the life of 100,000,000 citizens and non-citizens.

Its just a matter of numbers. There is no price control on devices, drugs or doctors. If these items can be any price and everyone wants them at any price, then the price tag for all things for all people is unbounded.

There are some 350 million citizens and non citizens in US territories. How much should the nation spend to extend all these lives as much as technology allows?
