Default Re: Did the system fail this man?

At what cost? Should someone be kept alive an extra day for $1M? Should someone be kept alive an extra year for $10M?

What if there are 500 people who can be saved by $1M, to extend their lives 20 years, or 1 person who can have his life extended 40?

Why are you in a better position to decide how others should spend their money than they are? Are you demanding that the doctors work for free? If not, the money has to come from somewhere.
