In addition to a borderline evil statement, she is just plain WRONG. It might save a little money in the short term, but our ponzi-scheme based Social Security system only works if the population is growing. And anyone with a brain knows that the vast majority of health care costs are incurred in the last 10 years of life.

The same argument propelled Margaret Sanger. This is nothing more than Eugenics reborn.

My mother, who is now 95 years old had a heart attack at age 89. Total cost was $125,000; her copay was about $5,000; her annual premium was about $2,700. She says the last five years have been the best years of her life. She thinks the costs were well worth every penny, and so do I.
