[quote=Zeitgeist]I am surprised they are not being sent to some camp in a cattle car in the Obama Health Care Plan. After all, he has no use for the elderly, so why keep the mentally ill. They cannot pay taxes and they are just taking up space. They are incurable. If you do not want to waste a pacemaker on someone who is elderly because it is not worth the cost of the surgery, how can you justify keeping the incurables around. Just asking.[/quote]

I have no idea what any of this refers to. Medicare already exists for the elderly, that would not change. The current House plan doesn’t address the elderly, with the exception of some refined definitions and expanded coverage under medicare. Other than financing problems which have been apparent since at least the early 80’s, it is already a reasonably efficient functioning government plan.
