Where the stuff really hits the fan as far as medical costs go is when you start to address the issue of how much medical care is enough at the end of life. A 93 year old relative of mine in failing health fell and broke his hip. He received a hip replacement courtesy of Uncle Sam (you and me). If anyone tries to raise this issue, they are accused of advocating "Death Squads."
