I don't have or need a story. Basic health care should be available in all industrialized countires. I expect that to mean rationing some services and I think it should. End of life care is outragously costly for the benefit (hours, days, weeks?) it provides. We need a culture change that emphasizes quality of life and puts our health care dollars where they provide the most benefit. Maternity, children, and life saving procedures for young adults.

WE ration care now by income. There are better ways. I'm 67 and say that knowing rationing would soon affect me. I'd be happy to see less intervention on my behalf and more on those younger who have full lives ahead.
