Why I Hope to Die at 75 - The Atlantic
But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss. It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.
I am talking about how long I want to live and the kind and amount of health care I will consent to after 75.
Let the self hating Jew come to my house and try to make me dead...I'll kick his ass all the way to Austin.Hmmmmm Interesting. And he designed Obamacare?
My mom is in her 80's... is it any wonder she's getting crappy treatment?

End of life counseling is to begin in teen years.ObamaCare and Medicare are going to expand "end of life consultations" for the elderly. Combine that with the inevitable rationing, and no real policy needs to be passed. The system will just work inefficiently enough so that inconvenient people die.
The VA is a pilot program in this regard.
oh please, medical policies have zero chance of ever being based on this man's personal philosophy...

Hmmmmm Interesting. And he designed Obamacare?
His opposition to single payer dates back to his previous efforts to sell the concept of vouchers for private insurance, paid for by a value-added tax, as the ideal model for reform – a proposal he shared with Victor Fuchs. Although he did not get that, tax credits for the purchase of individual “marketplace” plans seem to be close enough for him.
In his previous book, “Healthcare, Guaranteed,” he devotes an entire chapter to single payer. He concludes, “In their zeal, single-payer advocates seem to forget how American institutions and governmental agencies actually operate. They envision superbly efficient, incorruptible bureaucracies capable of rational policy choices. Unfortunately, American governmental agencies do not spontaneously operate this way.” Thus he dismisses single payer with the trite “incompetent government” meme.
same could be said for the obamas , they'll get the best of everything at taxpayer expense even after he leaves the presidency [I bet]] !!
