People forget about these unintended consequences. We have to make these changes more slowly. Start by passing legislation to cap cost increases so the job losses and valuations fall more slowly.

We also need to revisit end of life care. I see so many commercials for drugs that offer 9 months of life vs 6 months of life for existing treatments and there is little to say the quality of life is maintained. We can't afford to spend $100Ks for elder people with some kind of aging related cancer to have 3 extra months in hospice care. People can buy with their own saving but we need to unburden the system.
