We also CAN'T afford to keep people alive who need multiple $ thousands a month in healthcare. People/family needs to be realistic.

RE: Can't AFFORD to keep people alive.
1. I find it interesting how people like YOU change their tune when it effects someone they care about.
2. From your second paragraph your medical knowledge is NON-EXISTENT. With a study of your genes, it can be determined your life expectancy and what will kill you.
The accuracy is within a year or two unless you get hit by a car sort pf thing that cannot be anticipated by your genes

A TRUE STORY
You may recall that Hillary spoke about government healthcare when Billy was president. At the time my dad-not at all a fool-was rah rah the Clintons. I said until they say how they will pay for it-IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
I had a friend and a customer who had family in Germany which already had nationalized healthcare. I asked him how it worked. His reply was that people who could afford it bought private healthcare insurance and received much better care. Under OBAMACARE, we give the same care to all no matter who pays for it or how much they pay.
At the time they had discovered drugs that could keep a patient with aids alive for years and the cost was like 150,000 a year. I asked him how they handle this in Germany. Is there a cap. His reply was that I know German history. They will not euthanize anyone. According to him there are wards of people in Germany that are brain dead and they are kept alive as long as possible AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE.
In my view there is nothing as precious as life. WE HAVE GIVEN THE POWER OF OUR LIFE TO OUR GOVERNMENT.
Euthanasia is not legal except for a pet you call it humane
for a parent a spouse etc IT IS NOT LEGAL. The reason is while we SAY, separation of church and state the belief is you are damned if you take your own life.
A DNR again it is YOUR LIFE. You do not belong to the state. YET, if you sign a DNR anyone in your family can go against your WRITTEN REQUEST.
