Life's not fair. There are simply not enough resources available to keep every citizen perfectly healthy. That's a fact. Every country engages in rationing health care. The US does, through HMOs. Canada and the UK do, through their federal/national health services. Despite these cost-control mechanisms, spending on health care is simply out of control. Everyone agrees about this. What is YOUR proposal?

The US Health Care System needs to begin implementing cost-effective practices. We cannot afford the current trend. It would probably be "cost-effective" to just let people die. Except for the rich ones, of course, who can be kept alive for years in a semi-vegetative state until their money runs out.

The US Health Care System needs to begin implementing cost-effective practices. We cannot afford the current trend. Empathy is (literally) cheap. We should better train our health care personnel in that department. But other things are expensive. They will therefore be rationed. See: Canada. Or, the UK.
