I am 70 and rapidly approaching the 76 yar old limit that Obamacare places on treating Cancer patients, who knows what limit they will put on hip, knee , and heart surgery for older Americans.

I used to think 70 was old, but when you get there it really isn’t.

Hah - I used to think that 50 was old. I'm sneaking up on it a lot faster than I like.

My grandfather had heart bypass surgery in his mid 70s. He thought a long time about it..."Why take the chance?" was his thinking, approximately.

"Why not?", was my gandmother's, and fortunately, she prevailed.

He lived to be 87, and was very active up until the last few months. Turned out to be one of the smarter moves he made.

I keep hoping that cooler heads will prevail on Obamacare. Unbelievable, to me at least, that so few people can see the problems with something so horrifically flawed.
