The cost of health care is a major part of the ongoing national debate over health reform.

The last six months of a person’s life represents a large portion of that cost, often with expensive hospitalization, drugs and medical attention. It’s a touchy subject.

At what point are expensive drugs and aggressive care not worth the huge cost Insurers and hospitals make those decisions every day.

What do you think? Do you know of anyone who has been denied reimbursement for lifesaving treatment?
