Are you really this bored? Why don't you go surt u-tube for videos of dogs that chase their tails?
i have no clue but that's mean
What an idiot you are!
lets see mr foley..
where should we start with the cuts... oh yes... your family... no medication for your grandparents no heath care either.
Think of it this way... the money the old people paid in medicaid and other taxes throughout their working lives accounts for nothing... These peopel have paid and made these services available for the likes of you ... thats why they should get health care.. they have already paid for it.. unlike you whos contributions at the moment are really nothing...
It looks like you're answering your own question. Albeit your answer is sorely lacking in any ethics whatsoever.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
WHAT insurance premiums? Most elderly people here in the US are covered by MEDICARE, which is paid for by TAXES.
And if you think politicians want to lower taxes, you're nuts.
It's all about CONTROL. The over 65 medicare crowd represents a HUGE voting block.
I like your answer. We'd save a boatload of $ if these folks had no medical insurance. First, who are"we"; Insurance cos., Federal Gov't, state governments, businesses, me?
A better response might be to "Michael Vick" anyone over 50 or 55 years who weren't too productive; but in a more humane method. Like Dr. Death.
The US has about the best medical care in the world and available to illegal immigrants as well as billionares. Sure some have to go to the ER vs a boutique hospital; but they do get seen and treated and in the same day.
Sure we have problems in the delivery of services and mandated care and payment for services. There are cost effective solutions but in my opinion there are too many special interest pieces to effect a healthy solution today.
Hope you get a better answer.
These people do not really know what they are talking about...elderly do not all have everything paid for. They only qualify for medicare if they do not have some kind of huge retirement deal. And they only qualify for medicaid if their SS check is small compared to their bills. Then even if they have medicaid, it does not cover perscriptions. Who takes the most pills? Elderly. My father (76 yrs.) has perscriptions (and not as much as most people his age) that cost him almost 300 per month. He gets a check for 750 a month and qualifies for medicare and medicaid to pay for what medicare won't pay for. But perscriptions are not covered and he can't even get a food stamp card because I guess they feel like 450 is enough for him to live on. Whatever.
You're an idiot. And while we're at it we'll start denying them money, food, shelter, and human rights so there will be more for us.
Insurance premiums would only be cheaper if 5 years went by without one U.S. citizen making a claim on their health insurance, whether they are young or old.
If you think elderly people have it easy, you're in for a surprise. Hope it doesn't shock you when you're 65 and you read a question like this one that some young moron posted in a chat-room.
