If someone is dependent on government to pay for their medical care, then they should be aware that money is NOT infinite. I’m surprised rationing isn’t even more common. Choices have to be made, especially in single payer systems (we aren’t there, yet, but the federal government is paying for a large percentage of Americans).

People really have no right to demand that other people cover whatever costs might be necessary to extend life for as long as possible. If someone wants no expenses spared, then they need to pay for it themselves or request the (voluntary) charity of others.

I'm aware of Medicare patients (Taxpaying American citizens all their long lives) who have received at least five times more in benefits than they and their employers ever paid into the program, even considering a generous allowance for compound interest.

To my knowledge, not a one of them has ever said "I've gotten more than my money's worth, from here on out I will pay my own way".
