Just because we can extend life, should we? Americans spend trillions of dollars on health care every year. Medicare alone costs taxpayers over $500 billion, with more than 25 percent going toward patients in their last year of life. With the costs of health care rising and much of it spent on end-of-life care for patients with little or no chance of longtime survival, should the government step in to ration care, deciding whose life is worth saving? In other words, how much is an extra month or two of life worth?
