64 is not elderly wt hell is wrong with you
Wouldn’t that be poetic justice for the those Baby Boomers, the majority of whom voted for ultra-liberal policies for decades?
Even if you’re against Obama’s policies, you’ve got to admit there is some delicious irony here.
Well then, if that's your attitude, what are you waiting for????
What makesyou sure that the medical care you give up with go to your sin (or grandkids). That is unless they work for the government, because that is where the bulk of the new “health” jobs are likely to go.

The “Human Kill-Off” cult swarms about the global warming debate, any thread on a left leaning site and the ghouls come out with their phrophecies of “overpopulation” and “overshoot.”
A bit crude don’t you think? I’m not dead yet, although haven’t been to a Doctor in over 40 years so my time may be coming up sooner than I think...
You are just a bit too crude though for a FreeRepublic member...are you sure you belong here...?
Heh, sorry, have never worked for the government and never will, thank goodness! I can only hope that medical care will improve for my kids - what else am I to hope for...and yes, my sin will be the death of me...heh.
That’s what Obamacare is really all about. “Saving” the DemocRATS’ failed Social Security program. The “New Deal” is about to turn into the “Raw Deal.”
"Let me explain what reform will mean for you. And let me start by dispelling the outlandish rumors that reform will promote euthanasia, cut Medicaid or bring about a government takeover of health care. That's simply not true," Obama said in his Saturday address.
Notice he cleverly used the word MEDICAID and not MEDICARE. He's slicker than...well, he's slick.

Wow. Unreal.
I should clarify that I did work for the Military - US Air Force for 8 years, so I take back my earlier statement...
Yes. Uncle Chip belongs here.
I’m 64 and would gladly give up a few years for the hope of the younger generation - including my son.
Sir, I think most parents would give up their lives for their children.
I'm not sure, though, what this has to do with Obamacare. Obamacare is about government bureaucrats deciding who lives and who dies.
Once you have conceded life-and-death power to the government, your children will have to live with the consequences of your decision, long after you are dead. They will live in fear. The government will have the right to end their lives whenever it pleases, for whatever reason it chooses.
Is that what you want for your children?
No...You’re wrong... I do NOT think that the elderly should be getting most of the money but of course they do. I think that many of the elderly are hypochondriacs and get much more attention than they deserve. Of course there are those that really do need the help and I agree that they should but there is much waste here and it needs to be corrected.
No, of course not... I was looking at the financial side of health care (not Obama care). It would be a great thing if the elderly sacrificed a bit to help the rest of society.
ObamaCare is a joke! I am not in any way supporting socialist medicine but am pointing to a fact - elderly require more care... If they gave up a bit of this money to support others, it would help enormously since they consume about 40% of the costs.
I and probably many others would be happy to forgo many expenses if it would help overall medical care for all...
Heh...Well, he does seem an ornery cuss...
