One of the most obvious things in the world - capping end of life care, which is wasteful and prohibitively expensive - undone by a catchy slogan, a meme-addicted media, and weak-kneed politicians.
I work pretty exclusively with large and mid-size hospitals and NFPs, and the hospitals are acutely aware of how much money, particularly, of course, Medicare dollars, are wasted during the last year of a patient's life. If you try to cap that you'll be attacked by whomever is running for office, on either side, with few exceptions.

He'd just rather argue for death panels (a long standing and somewhat justified staple of private insurance, as I'm sure you know) than tax hikes, which isn't surprising in a lawyer under thirty.

Because your mommy and daddy would rather write a sign for you to hold than pay taxes.

Entitlements are part of the problem, but far from the whole of it.

Because successive governments thought that spending more while taxing less was a good idea.
