Maybe the federal government shouldn't be in the business of EoL care at all?

Maybe the federal government shouldn't be in the business of EoL care at all?
- matwood 2y agoOk, I'll bite. How do you fund EoL care w/o the federal government involved?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoyou don't. You let people die in a manner according to their own means without blowing through several hundred thousand of public funds on their way out. If given the choice of 100k EoL care, or 100k for their grandchildren, most people would choose the latter. Add a layer between and it becomes a prisoners dilemma problem. If you forgo treatment, your children still get billed 99.9k instead of 100k.
- matwood 2y agoSo no plan. Simply let people die in the street. Got it.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoYou don't need to be so extreme. You can let people die in their own home with palliative care without providing every drug and surgery imaginable.
- fastball 2y agoHomelessness does not seem particularly related to EoL care.
