Watching 60 minutes. The first clip was about elderly people living their last days, weeks, and even months out in the ICU, in comas, and we're keeping them alive artificially. Is there a time when too much is too much?

The thing is, these folks are NOT getting better, and they WON’T get better. It’s not like they’re 20 years old and a miracle could happen, so you can’t give up. We’re not healing them. All we’re doing is preventing them from dying. To what end? Why are we delaying the inevitable?
Of course, the main thrust was the fact that Medicaid is paying for all of it. And before you holler at me, I’ve had personal experience with this with my Mom.
