A new video posted on Sunday shows former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg explaining how healthcare will bankrupt us, unless we deny care to the elderly.
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
Denying cancer care to somebody who is 95 does not seem outrageous to me.
Palliative care is more appropriate.
What I would consider outrageous is to commit $250,000 to delay by 6 months the inevitable. And to do so for every person in the country.
Now, if they want to spend their own money on this I have no issue.
Yes, hard and cold.
And realistic.
More likely 65.
Or to spend millions on an election you have no hope in winning.
Let us know how you feel when you’re 95 and you’ve let the government make that decision for you.

I will repeat what I’ve been saying ever since Bloombutt got control of NYC schools: Drop dead, curl up, and turn black, Bloombutt. How many lives must you ruin?
It’ll only be 95 to start.
Then it will move down to 85, then 75, then whatever they need it to be when they run out of money.
We’ve played this game before.
healthcare is going to bankrupt us
Here’s another idea Mike!
Little hands little eyes walking around telling great big lies!
Don’t want no short people around here.

“But that should be your choice, not the governments.”
Taxpayers get no vote?
The elderly are not paying for their own care.
You and I are.
These leftist asshats want to murder you before you are born...then, if that doesn’t work, they want to murder you when you are older. They are a great group of pathetic psychopaths.
I wonder if he would apply that same rule to RBG?
Her cancer treatments at an advanced age have been nothing short of miraculous.
And that is the control that is enabled by govt healthcare
Remembering 0bama and Ezekiel Emanuel creating their meat chart, measuring how many useful years you can give to the gubmit versus cost of health care you need.
Some folks will need to settle for the pain relief pill. Perhaps, some, with shitty social media scores, will not qualify for those pills
How many 95 year olds would even want to go through radiation and chemo and all of that?
Yep, all gummint healthcare has to get here eventually.
“Let us know how you feel when youre 95 and youve let the government make that decision for you.”
It’s the choice of taxpayers as to whether they are willing to spend the money to keep me (and you) alive at that age...or 99.999% of people over 65.
Just about everyone over 65 is on Medicare. And it’s the taxpayer who funds it.
Government is the agent of taxpayers, and taxpayers are not going to say “spend whatever it takes to eke out another day”.
Just won’t happen.
Because that is rational.
“And that is the control that is enabled by govt healthcare”
If it were not for government healthcare, almost nobody over 65 would have any healthcare at all.
They would die at home. In pain. Just like 100 years ago.
Mr. Doomberg forgets that he used our money to get rich.
He is forgetting his roots. But I understand dementia is starting to take its toll on him. In a few years he won’t know what $50Billion is.
It’s more than just “dementia” with him
Much more
My mother in law is 97. Her lung keeps filling. She had it drained three ties in two weeks.
She finally told the hospital to take her back to her nursing home. She told us she was done. At 97 Im not going to argue.
That was a month ago. This week she started walking back to bingo every morning. And to mass.
At 97, Im not going to argue.
