@milee30, Who gets to decide whether or not a treatment is too expensive or the prognosis isn’t good enough to make the treatment worth the cost? It’s easy to make those arguments for extreme cases, but apply that to cancer treatments and other medical interventions. We already know from the concierge medicine thread that there’s a premium standard of medical care available to those who can pay that’s not available to low income families – and people are okay with that – so you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t trust the average taxpayer to determine what treatments are medically necessary or worth the cost.
