I agree with him. Why waste resources on someone who is far past their useful stages of life? Just accept that cancer will kill you at that age and go to God.
Even if you're 85, socialized healthcare shouldn't provide cancer care. 75 even. People need to accept that old people die.
Waste resources on someone who is far past their useful stages of life
Someone who is far past their useful stages of life is actually entering the prime of their most profitable stage of life. Keep them alive at any cost and prescribe them a dozen different heart/cancer medications, that is how you get a recurring revenue stream. And they're all covered by Medicare, so it really doesn't matter what you charge for your services, some tax paying moron is gonna foot the bill regardless.
If people want socialized healthcare it's something they halve to accept.
I'd go along with age 85. Most people at 75 are still productive, unless they're invalids.
Some 30 year olds are totally unproductive though, so it varies.
We're at the height of egotistical self-importance.
