> death industry engaged in a giant transfer of wealth from dying people to the medical establishment This is the problem: in US the first priority for medical care is profit. All other aspects are not the first priority, including ethics and psychological health of the patient and the family. Combine it with a litigation-happy society, greedy insurance companies, and a culture that treats longevity as an entitlement. Then add the poor focus on prevention and the egregiously lax standards for food/air/water/housing health and safety.
