The documentary did sort of imply that. When people have too many options, they tend to use them all, even if it makes no sense. People talk about death panels, but if a $10mm operation with a 1% chance of extending life by 20 more minutes is an option, I don't really think emotional family members should be in the position of opting for that. It just makes no sense.
