Bloomberg Blows It, Says Elderly Should Not Get Medical Care to Save Money
The Federalistpapers ^ | 2/17/2020 | STEVE STRAUB

Posted on 02/17/2020 8:07:51 PM PST by bitt

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.”

Bloomy is just a nasty person and really NOT all that intelligent.

I have to admit, denying medical care would save money... /s

(Bloomie just lost the senior vote)

Except that through taxes, medical insurance, etc. you have already paid for it once. Having taken you money, if you want something for it you have to pay again.

I know it's hard to understand, but watch carefully as the corrupt politicians put your money under one shell and then slowly move it around and puff, like magic, it's gone.

Elderly and exempted.

Some animals are more equal than others.

RBG, for instance.

This sounds like the way a nazi would have thought.

And you’re right. Government harms everything.

I can activate my dental plan for the month I need it and then cancel it a month later.

That’s insanity.

Isn't Mini Mike elderly?

Yes, but he's more equal than your normal elderly so the same set of rules don't apply.

Well, he’s telling the truth. It’s how government programs work.

Bumberg won’t get elected by being so honest. He needs to lie, like Obama.
