Just because we can extend life, should we? The U.S. is expected to
spend $2.8 trillion on health care in 2012. Medicare alone will cost
taxpayers $590 billion, with over 25% going toward patients in their
last year of life. If health care is a scarce resource, limited by its
availability and our ability to pay for it, should government step in to
ration care, deciding whose life is worth saving? In other words, how
much is an extra month of life worth?
