| Annotation | The focus in the United States on 'setting limits' to the provision of such services as health care for old people may be spreading to Europe. This article points up the empirical deficiencies in some of the unexamined assumptions in such proposals, especially the belief that an inordinate share of medical expenditure occur in the final weeks or months of older patients. |
