This whole article and comment thread is a strawman, in that it presents a single case in spmething that simply should not be adjudicated on a case by case basis.

Euthanasia, death panels, palliative care management, healthcare budgets, transparency or lack thereof ...

These are all (full stop) system level decisions. Show us all the data, all the decisions, all the controls, all the dollars.

Then as a society we decide the parameters, the gray areas, and then each case fits in one area or another.
