Assuming this article is accurate, it shows what type of a clownish dystopia the USA has found itself in. We force the government (i.e. the collective US citizens) to pay for end of life treatment for people who didn't budget for it themselves, and which also appears to offer a worse utility than doing nothing according to the revealed preferences of the very people who are responsible for administering these treatments. That is, we are bankrupting our nation to make people more miserable.
