That is actually an interesting argument from you


Yes, health care that extends life leads to eventual incremental health care costs. So a person who lives to be 90 may costs society more than someone who checks out much earlier.

so how do YOU feel about that. How do you think you will feel about it in20 years?
One solution to rising health care costs might be establishing an end of life standard that says if you don't have enough cash to sustain you to age 85, you must die at 65. Otherwise you become a burden on society.

Is that America? I hope not
