Don’t know whether it’s still true, but at least as recently as the late 80s, people who needed dialysis in the Netherlands only received state provided services until they turned 50. After that, you either had to prove you had dependents or pay for it yourself or die. The mother of a friend of mine counseled these people – nice touch to help people feel better about their impending death. So today you’re saying that we shouldn’t worry about 80 year olds. How old is going to be too old next year?
