Thanks

I recently videotaped a presentation from these folks and one of the many interesting things pointed out is how much of total healthcare spending is on frantic end of life care. If we can't discuss issues like this without people shouting "death panels" we'll have a hard time ever getting a handle on costs.

Allowing a patient to determine what course of action is best for them ahead of time is a step in the right direction.
