Michael Bloomberg may have just lost his shot to get the Democrat’s 2020 nomination based on a resurfaced video in which he says the elderly should not get full medical care in order to save money.
(see video)
Here’s a partial transcript via Newsbusters:
“If you’re bleeding, we’ll stop the bleeding. If you need an x-ray, you’re gonna have to wait,” Bloomberg told a Jewish family, explaining his view on how our medical system should work.
“All of these costs keep going up, no one wants to pay any more money,” he continued. “And at the rate we’re going, health care is going to bankrupt us. So not only do we have a problem, it’s gonna be [unintelligible] and say which things we’re gonna do and which things we’re not. No one wants to do that.”
“If you show up with prostate cancer, and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy…Lead a long life. There’s no cure, we can’t do anything.’ A young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”

The free market would go a long way towards solving health care and insurance problems. The heavy hand of government only creates more problems, and leads to rationing, increasing costs, and poor quality care.
Of course, Mr. Bloomberg is much too special to be one of those denied care. In socialism, some people are more equal than others.
How about cancelling the surgeries for the trans crowd?
Death Panel Mike.
Take A Pill Bloomberg.
These people should never be in charge of anything.
There is a basic truth to what Alberich is saying.
This is why ‘Rats lie. When they are honest about their beliefs, they are unelectable.
The guy sure knows how to increase his base.
So far he has alienated farmers, teachers, seniors, women...
Who’s next?
push this BUTTON for self-destruct
Excuse me if I am misinformed, but isn’t Mini-Mike “elderly?”
Gypsies...
Oh it’s so SHOCKING!!
People don’t look at what happens in socialist countries when they support
Socialist rulers and their stupid rules in this country.
Americans think the government is going to help them? In health? How utterly stupid
Of course the government is going to have a list
Of course heath care will turn into socialism. Well communism
Do people not know that Medicare has been broke t
For 45 years?
Does this guy have a strategy to actually get elected, or is he just using his campaign as a way to launder money, somehow?
“based on a resurfaced video in which he says the elderly should not get full medical care in order to save money”
The author lied, right out of the gate.
Bloomberg said “if you’re 95 and you come in with prostate cancer...you’re SOL (or words to that effect.
Why would the author lie?
Why are people reacting feverishly to a lie?
Bloomerbutt is elderly.
bttt
Nope. Neither are Soros or Ruth Ginsburg.
As far as these draconian calculations are concerned — the globalist elites are forever young.
This is what’s in store for the elderly if they vote democrats into power. Bloo just being honest.
Does he realize he just allowed us to allow himself to die?
So what if he has money, he’s an old fart. Just send him home and tell him to enjoy his life. Bye bye Mikey.
