I have to think that at least part of the problem is that, culturally, in this country we have a hard time making tough ethical decisions through law.
Can you even imagine setting the basic guidelines for what an appropriate level of care would be for specific illnesses? Of course, when it's my grandmother, nothing but the most expensive treatments taken to the farthest extreme will do. When it's yours, well, we ought to be reasonable. Add to this that you can't REALLY standardize (read: socialize) medical care without dredging up the most unpleasant parts of the illegal alien debate.
