"health insurance shouldn't mean we'll do whatever it takes to keep somebody alive no matter what".

That is a valid thought and a lot of "universal" and "free" healthcare have "costs containment" and even "alternatives" health care (homeopathy) for higher cost diseases[1]

Now the question is when it will come to you or a beloved one will it be ok to me say : "nahh, lets save a lot of money"?

A lot of people think Europe Health system is perfect and universal. It is when you are young. Once you have a hard cancer Rich people take a flight to US.

I understand the point you're trying to make. I would like to also point out that non-rich people in the US often just die. It's not like the non-rich US-based get the same care that the rich non-US-based fly here to get.
