Even in countries with universal healthcare, these decisions also need to be made. We don’t have unlimited money or resources to spend when cases are likely hopeless.
So you’re saying it’s the insurance company’s job is to decide who is in a state to die, not a doctor. Why do we even have doctors? So when you have a medical emergency, why won’t you just go to the insurance company instead of a hospital, when the company is better in making medical decisions anyway?
This may be new to you, but insurance companies have no medical training.
The state of the woman in the ICU might sound hopeless but the coma can be medically induced due to the brain hemorrhage and with the proper medical care she could recover, if indeed her state isn’t too bad. This is something doctors are for, to calculate her chances and fight for her life if there is a chance of survival. If there’s no chance, it’s the family’s choice to pull the plug.
But you’re fine with an insurance company calculating what it might cost to them then to make the decision to let her die?
A doctor is only allowed to be a doctor when they took the Hippocratic Oath. They will lose it when they would give up people their lives for the profits of an insurance company. Doctors do not work for them, the people judging whether they will payout your insurance claim have no medical training.

It’s my understanding that a doctor, employed by the insurance agency, makes these calls.
Nope.
Astounding rebuttal. I am obviously wrong. The votes prove it!
