It only looks like clickbait because you're used to a system that costs $$$ to get medical care.
In the UK when my mother got told she was terminal and had a couple of months left, she chose to spend them at home. In the end she left hospital in mid-December and died the following May. 5 months at home in a specialist bed, provided by the hospital, all of the equipment required to keep a dying person comfortable again provided by the hospital. Nurses and doctors there every day.
Because of her illness, the government paid her rent, it paid my father a carers allowance, so he was able take time off work.
Total cost: £0.
5 months of excellent at home care for £0.
You shouldn't be dismissing the article as clickbait, it shouldn't cost $145k to die, there shouldn't need to be a discussion here.
You should be so very angry that a country that takes in $3tn a year in federal taxes won't support a working healthcare system
