I've been watching the healthcare, health insurance 
conversations.  And in particular about longevity, end-of-life costs, 
futile interventions, .. I was thinking today that the longer we live 
with chronic illnesses, the more pharmaceutical profits. Kleinman 
uses the word 'pharmaceuticalization.'

"Improved survival and population aging converge to generate a 
booming population of older adult cancer survivors, many of whom have 
multiple complex health conditions and unique survivorship needs. 
This demographic shift has important implications for future health 
care needs and costs of the US population."
