$200,000 for 2 months? I shall apply my big numbers filter. That's $1.2 million per year. That is enough to hire several carers and half a dozen part time medical experts. But sick people don't have a medical expert in attendance more than an hour a day. They don't even have a nurse in attendance 2 hours a day. How do you get the $200,000? That's $100,000 per month or $3,000 per day. My uncle just died age 94. On his couch apparently during an afternoon nap. My wife's aged uncle Ron sat in his atm chair when feeling unwell and did the same. My father had a stroke one night and did occupy a hospital bed for nearly 24 hours before dying. Doctors did attend for a little of that time. Etc... I know of many deaths in such detail. Up close and personal. Those zero cost deaths mean some are costing $400,000 or $1 million or $10 million. I think the $200,000 is untrue. A made up number misquoted. Mqurice

The high cost of end-of-life care in America is exactly why the Republican Congress last month made eliminating Medicare their next top legislative priority. We just need to switch a few more seats in the Senate to Republicans - one last final push to achieve conservative nirvana. There was a famous film "Dasein ohne Leben" which focused exactly on this never-ending social problem of old people with dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, cancer and other incurable diseases which make them incapable of being productive in their final years. As you note, Immigrants have been proved to be just as susceptible to these problems as native-born Americans. As the film notes, "We need to free those we cannot heal," "Wir müssen diejenigen befreien, die wir nicht heilen können." As a Doctor you know this all too well, and yet your hands are currently tied. I know you will continue to fight for the deliverance of America's elderly.
