To save Healthcare, let the sickest 20% die

Raising taxes on people like Warren Buffet are disingenuous at best if the loopholes that their slick tax attorneys are able to exploit for them aren't eliminated as well.

You don't really need a slick accountant when you're Buffet. You just make your money passively, so it is only hit with the capital gains rate of 15% instead of the earned income tax structure. Why do you think all those CEOs brag about $1 salaries? Because they have buttloads of stock options to cash out later at the lower tax rate. They can fool all the morons into thinking the CEOs are doing something really good.

67 is the age Social Security, so just do away with social security if everyone must die at age 65?? This does not make sense??? Lots of people can and will live a healthy life till age 90. Even 100 years ago some people lived to age 90. Telling people they will get no health care based on some arbitrary age is just stupid.

How about we fire everyone that is 67 years old and force them into retirement. Think about this a minute. Young people want jobs, so a forced retirement seems like a good idea. However, a lot of people are making more money as they get older, and this equates to higher tax money. At the same time some people will not make it to that age and they will be a strain on the system. This arbitrary age system needs to be changed to some kind of flexible retirement system. Not only do we force people to retire too early in some cases we are also forcing people to withdraw their retirement money too early (Age 70). If we let them keep it in retirement plan longer, then it would be more money and the government could get more tax money. However, I think retirement money for anyone over 67 should not even be taxed. They already paid a tax once or twice on it.

All this just causes too much stress for old people.

Why does the government make so many regulations and laws abour retirement? Does the government hate old people?

80/20 rule of thumb:
20% of patients use 80% of health care resources

Your posts get more stupid. The fact that people here are debating it is even more sad.

Don't confuse the anti-due process people with facts.

You can't- they already believe in lies, and faith conquers all.

and keep abortion legal and easily accessible to the sections of the population that are most likely to wind up on the social welfare tit.
We've already seen what it did to crime rates in the 90s.

Simple rule most countries that provide public health care follow: you can't spend unlimited money trying to prolong the lives of elderly retired people. Doesn't make any sense.

Our elderly have free healthcare too.

They have "death panels"?

Nope.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

What so you mean, no? The only things we have to pay for are GP visits, physio, non-hospital prescriptions, and ambulance.

So many spooky responses in this thread and the drug testing thread.
Truly makes a guy sit back and wonder how people can be so ignorant about their fellow human beings.

Well if all your social contact was through a computer while growing up you'd be some what off too.
