Would our health-care system be so outrageously expensive if each American family directly spent even half of that $1.77 million that it will contribute to health insurance and Medicare over a lifetime, instead of entrusting care to massive government and private intermediaries? Like its predecessors, the Obama administration treats additional government funding as a solution to unaffordable health care, rather than its cause. The current reform will likely expand our government’s already massive role in health-care decision-making—all just to continue the illusion that someone else is paying for our care.

This article fails to mention how costly end of life issues are to the health care system in the United States. Healthcare providers could and should do a better job of preparing their patients and their families to face this inevitable stage in life.If the families had the expense to bear I feel certain we would see different decisions being made.
