Healthcare in America is driven by greed, and greed alone. "What the market will bear". So I guess people will do without food, clothing, shelter etc. because everything is second in importance to one's health, correct? Until it isn't. I imagine that's why (along with the fascist christians) the reason euthanasia isn't a serious alternative to end of life discussion. There's just TOO MUCH DAMNED MONEY TO BE MADE! God bless the U.S.A.
