There are some touchy issues affecting the out come of the new "McDonald's" style health plans. One of those being "end of life care". Most alarming is the fact that the citizens of the United States have a blurred vision. When end of life care open discussion becomes a tabu subject through cheap media rumors then the public might even need a seeing eye dog. When petty alarmist can put so much fear into the mix with the help of the media then it is obvious that some clear, concise explanations should be spoon fed to the public. So called town meetings with selective audiences is not very democratic. Will wealthy citizens be able to privately "super size" their coverage with private plans? Will there be a budget "state run economy menu" for the rest?
What possible difference will it make if the actual delivery of health care cost continue to increase to the point of no return? A bill to halt the mounting cost of health care will quickly bring one to the reality that a plan to lower cost and eliminate the fluff in the private and public sector is more important. Useless philosophical, ethical arguments about who should get what. Why should the public ignore out of control rising health care cost. Do we really need an expensive bug a boo beauracracy to administer such a program if rising health care costs will make it obsolete in a few years
