And I'm not arguing about expensive end-of-life care. I don't have a strong opinion about end-of-life care. There could be a lot of value in changing the way we finance end-of-life care. That doesn't change the fundamental problems we have with health insurance now: either it chains you to your current employer, or threatens you with an intolerable risk of bankruptcy.
