It's anyone with insurance/Medicare that says I want what ever you can give me to keep me living. If it's covered, they get it. They don't care about the cost. And the medical community profits (not just Big Pharma) in the continued lingering death. The longer they keep them alive the longer they can keep billing the system.
And if you're not covered and not rich? They will treat you into bankruptcy, then continue treating because the state/medicaid will pay.
The longer they can keep you alive, the more money can be made.
Regardless, people should still have a say in whether they would rather spend a fortune keeping them alive or simply opt out of the whole process altogether. Nobody should have the power to force someone to live. My whole point is that our life should be our choice - not someone else's.
Agreed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
