YEah they get real huffy when they have to treat old people. Right to die, living wills, euthanasia, it's all a bunch of crap. They love you if you're young and cute and if you're old and sick they just want you to die so they can move the bed. I hate the direction healthcare is going.

There is certainly a bias in the medical field against the elderly, the disabled, and those who are taking up resources and time to heal slowly when the bed space could be used for someone more healthy and more quickly healed.

It is a viewpoint of "these people are dying anyway, why not just let them go now?" which applies to anyone disabled, defective, or elderly. Pretty soon it will be, "Why not just go ahead and lethally inject them now?"

Not, it is not a bunch of crap. If you are suffering and going to die anyway, you will not think that.
