If you’re over 60, forget about “free” healthcare. You’ll be asked to “sacrifice” yourself “for the children.” This is the Commie DemocRATS’ plan to save Social Security. Kill anyone who is eligible to receive it. How’s the “new direction” America thing going so far?
I’m 68 years old. Of course there is now and always will be rationing of health care, and of course younger people will receive some priority over old people.
Too much money is spent prolonging life of a very feeble old persion. Why? Because it denies money for treatment of a younger person who will live many more years of productive life for the expenditure.
As I speak of spending on health care here I’m referring to an ill person receiving money from all the rest of us for his treatment. It’s an entirely different matter if he spends his own money on his treatment or if he pays for insurance and receive what his policy provides.
The overriding problem with health care spending is that it’s become crazy-expensive. Those 8 children born recently to that lady will cost over two million dollars by the time they’re released from the hospital. Let’s guess whose dollars they will be.
We can’t afford all the health care that we would like everyone to have. Nowhere near.
An let’s be clear. There are deadbeats out there that mess themselves up and don’t deserve a penny of my money for treatment.
Today’s health care providers recommend treatments. Who are we to evaluate those recommendations. How can we say no when a life is in balance. We are big time over a barrel.
Unless, of course, you are one of the self-anointed elite in this country - then no expense public or private will be spared in extending life even just a few more days.
