WOW next decade Medicare will spend $250b on "death care", $ spent in health care in last year of life. #reconcon we need to reinvent dying.
.@emilesnyder I wouldn't question the $ spent if it was improving quality fo life and death, but all research suggests it is not.

@avantgame Thanks! The $4K/yr vs $25K in year of death comparison is much more helpful / interesting to me than the $250bn total over 10yr.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
