And of course your call of BS is based on non-sweeping generalizations??? What is your experience with the terminally ill?
Nifster, I have worked in health care for over 25 years, 15 of those in direct patient care, many of them terminally ill oncology patients or patients with various other afflictions, many of whom I came to know quite well due to their repeated visits to me over the course of years. (Years, incidentally, that were in many cases possible for them to experience due to the health care delivered to them by a system this author appears to abhor.)
My wife is an RN who has worked in her career as long as mine in every job from unit receptionist to charge nurse in all critical care areas with all types of patients. Being married to her is an additional form of education for me.
I have pretty good knowledge of hospital care for many types of patients, including terminally ill patients. I am not writing articles for extremely left-wing websites that are shilling for Obamacare, so even if I am not impartial to the subject from a conservative point of view, I am not swinging all the way to the other side either.
And my experience with the terminally ill is not wholly professional, either.
I stand by my point that this slanted viewpoint presented by the author is far from universal, though he does not present it as such.
