This does bring up so interesting thought to me, an older guy.

If I know before hand that my medical treatment will be with held only because of my age and therefore I will not live as long as a younger person with the same problems why should I worry about a long imprisonment or legal penalty for doing something wrong?

This question would apply to all crimes. Would I not be angry at some one or a group of people for condemning me to death at an earlier age? The irony of it would be that I would never pay the price for the crime because by their call I would be dead. Even if imprisoned for a shot time at the end of my life while going through the process of dieing, it would put the burden of medical care, meals, clothing, rent, and utilities on the government. I would have very little to loose my family would be better off too.

This is a very interesting position to put a person in. If I had great credit why not borrow as much as I can get, disperse all my assets to the people I want to have them and then default on debt or just die with nothing left?

This obama care thing is giving older folks something to think about.

God is still on the throne. Try not to think like that.

Since this rolled out, I have held the belief that this would create a class of NTL’ers. Nothing to lose. When the government sentences someone to a premature death because of a death panel, medical care withheld, either to the patient or family of, I can easily see folks going postal upon those who represent the cause of their anguish

Came to those conclusions long ago. It is self defense to fight for one’s life. And you will receive better care in prison than a free citizen would get.
