IDK. My uncle was about 72 when he got sick with pancreatic cancer and left his vacation home in Florida in an air ambulance to be treated at the Mayo Clinic then flew in an air ambulance home to Michigan to die.
My Uncle Marty owned 5 retail furniture stores -- he was not a poor man. Had he been of more modest means maybe he would have died in a hospice in Miami. In the end, that made no difference anyway -- but he felt there was a chance or maybe my aunt and his kids did? IDK ...
People spend what money they can to keep on living -- it is hard to accept the end when you feel there is a chance and you have the money to pay for it.
If you pay all of your life for insurance and Medicare what would you expect? Same with high taxes for ''free'' universal healthcare.
Sorry buddy -- see you on the other side?
You are not being realistic.
You will either spend what you have or go to the Happy Hunting Grounds to die. Door 1 or Door 2.
You can pay for private treatment in the Netherlands or in Switzerland I think -- the distances are about the same as my uncle's journey. He had the money to pay -- that is the difference -- but most people, when near the end, will do what they can to survive.
