Sierra Club says “people are spending too much time indoors in front of the TV when they should be out hiking and camping. We are asking the government to step in and help modify people’s behavior.

"“The idea is that a person who is elderly and out of the workforce is more socially expendable,” Sayer said. “It is argued that these people have already led full lives and that they owe it to society to make way for the younger generations.”"

Come on Grandma and Grandpa, you have an obligation to go off yourself to make way for the younger generation. If you don't do it voluntarily, you will be "assisted" by the appropriate party member. Reminds me of an episode of Star Trek: TNG called Half a Life. Plot outline: Counselor Troi's mother visits the Enterprise and becomes infatuated with a man who's culture forces him into a suicidal ritual called "The Resolution."

“The problem is, when the government provides free health care the system gets clogged with malingerers and hypochondriacs,”

Well duh! Should have realized this before; it's not that hard to see that people will put no forethought into usage if healthcare is "free"

“The government feels it has a right to deny treatment to those who don’t do as they have been told.”

And this is a big duh too...if We The People don't realize that this is always what does happen and what must happen under a government, one payer system then we deserve the rationed, lousy care we are going to get.
