That will be terrifically ugly for a country where everyone thinks it makes sense to spend ungodly sums to keep the very old alive for a few more months at the end, in usually rotten circumstances.
If you know a doc, nurse, or other provider, when this is all done, buy him or her a drink. They're going to go thru some miserable shit. And a number of them are going to die.
