In the USA cost free cancer treatment (and all forms of health care) is available in county hospitals for those who lack sufficient, or no insurance cover leading me to believe that the story being reported here lacks some important details. County hospitals lack carpets, and other hotel features that are a regular feature in private health care facilities. In addition there are charitable organisations providing free health care support across the major cities of the USA for those without insurance cover, or inadequate insurance cover. Dental treatment also features as a free service provided by dentists volunteering their services.
On a more practicable level it is a fact of life that there are physicians, and nurses who will provide higher dosages of morphine for terminally ill patients to accelerate the inevitable. These actions are secret, not recorded, illegal, and do not need the input of parliamentary legislation.
