Sir, I think most parents would give up their lives for their children.

I'm not sure, though, what this has to do with Obamacare. Obamacare is about government bureaucrats deciding who lives and who dies.

Once you have conceded life-and-death power to the government, your children will have to live with the consequences of your decision, long after you are dead. They will live in fear. The government will have the right to end their lives whenever it pleases, for whatever reason it chooses.

Is that what you want for your children?

No, of course not... I was looking at the financial side of health care (not Obama care). It would be a great thing if the elderly sacrificed a bit to help the rest of society.

ObamaCare is a joke! I am not in any way supporting socialist medicine but am pointing to a fact - elderly require more care... If they gave up a bit of this money to support others, it would help enormously since they consume about 40% of the costs.

I and probably many others would be happy to forgo many expenses if it would help overall medical care for all...
