Well, admittedly, I was kind of assuming that we're "going in" having already ruled out saving healthcare money by causing people to die prematurely. But do you happen to know of a graph or table or something on the fiscal trade-offs between health, life-span, and spending on care, which would demonstrate that even if someone remains in very good health until they die, simply having them alive longer costs so much money that it would be preferable to spend less and have them die earlier?
