Like so many people, Randi Kaye is scared to death of death. For that reason, she is hoping to create a national dialogue about death and dying. Why, in America, are we afraid to discuss this topic? This issue is very close to Randi’s heart, having watched her own mother die of lung cancer. Randi and her mother made painful choices together such as choosing not to try an unproven chemotherapy pill that was going to cost $4000/month. For CNN, Randi also profiled a woman who spent nearly $700,000 trying to keep her husband alive in the last year of his life. As Randi will tell audiences, that woman would do it all again if she had the chance. In this presentation, Randi serves as a catalyst to help people learn to become more comfortable discussing end of life issues. By creating awareness, Randi hopes we can begin to tackle this issue before it cripples Medicare and our healthcare system as a whole. On average, ninety percent of a person’s healthcare expenditure occurs in the last year of their life.
