This releives the medical people of any recourse.
Why burden the family if any remaining with medical costs that they cannot afford or want?

I completely agree with you Tom. Our country goes soooo overboard on end of life care. No one knows how to say enough is enough, because so many decisions are made by people that feel too guilty for not doing enough for their parents and can't let go. Universal health care will never work here for this main reason...most medical costs are associated with the last two weeks of life.
