The GOP has already targeted "rationing" as the evil word of the debate. Any talk of it will be demonized. I still have no clue what the answer is, but you are right, at some point we have to make calls at what point in the exponential cost curve do we say, "it is time to die." that is a tough one.
Too true. Especially considering that we ourselves are in many cases not even allowed to make this decision for ourselves.
Right now, I'd settle for just the right to say "I'd like a quadrupal shot of morphine please so that an extended stay in a miserable nursing home won't bankrupt my whole family."
