DrRich: “We in America (citizens, the government, and the insurers) refuse to acknowledge that there are limits to what we should expect from our healthcare system. We expect to receive any bit of healthcare that offers even a possibility of benefit, even if that benefit is likely to be marginal or transient. We expect our researchers to work day and night to cure every disease, no matter how rare, and we become indignant when progress does not seem rapid enough for our particular disease; indeed, death itself is merely a manifestation of insufficient research. In other words, where healthcare is concerned, there are and can be no limits.”
