The Left is terribly concerned that "we" are spending too much money on keeping people alive as they get older. But Ted Kennedy didn't seem to mind that "we" provided state-of-the-art cancer care for him, presumably through his wonderful insurance as a US Senator; I have yet to hear of a single "Man or Woman of the Left" -- as they like to dub themselves -- who would object to healthy (and wealthy) aging for themselves. I don't see George Soros checking out the suicide clinics in Holland. I don't hear any eagerness to cut short Jimmy Carter's lifelong support for bloody-minded Islamofascists; but Mr. Carter is 85 already. Are "we" the taxpayers now paying too much for his presidential medical care? Should Obama's own medical care be discontinued at some specified age? And should Nelson Mandela be encouraged to call it quits? After all, Mr. Mandela is 91 now.

What ever happened to Darrell Issa’s bill to make the Congressional health plan available for everyone?
Oh, Kennedy meant ‘OLD’ people, you know - grandparents with white hair and outdated clothes who sit around the house retired.
-Not IMPORTANT folks like him who worked hard at destroying the foundations of this country til the day they die.
One underlying characteristic of leftist is they don't know their parents, especially their fathers, e.g. Clinton, Obama. They are looking for big government to fill the emotional void in their lives.
You’ve got a point. Both of those guys have daddy issues. Obama definitely has momma issues.
Any wonder they do the things they do?
