Apologies, I should have mentioned this is a full length documentary (also available on Netflix under the title Money and Medicine). What I like about it is that the medical profession has at last come out and added their vital input to this whole debate. Then you know it’s not politically skewed. It really is an eye-opener, not just from the point of view of waste and costs, but also from the perspective of life changing/threatening invasive, non-essential treatment. You don’t really get a sense of how much the debate rages within the medical profession, but one assumes it must since the problem is still there. Anyone getting long in the tooth needs to prepare not just for death itself, but also for the understandably difficult choices you may be faced with that lead up to it. Will or should health directives become mandatory?

Folks, if you have an opinion, any opinion on health care, then you NEED to watch this. It could save your life.
