If the “death panels” don’t silence them, our SEIU thugs will.

“Best NEVER say you suffer any form of memory loss or depression to your doctor.”

That goes for all ages. A doctor can already report you to the NICS system as being mentally defective thanks to the NICS “Improvement” Act. That will cost you your gun rights without due process. They can also alert LEO’s who will be more than happy to come and take them by force.

As 2010 comes to a close, and as a great many elderly kill themselves so that their heirs can inherit an estate without worrying about estate taxes, we will hear some sad stories

LOLOL!! That would be sad, indeed. Plan ahead. Give everything to a trusted child, ahead of time, in percentage increments. Divide the estate before your death.

I'd rather have my parents around (and they are, great-great grandparents), taking care of my grandmother, than gone and inherit anything in a hurry.

To hell with that bunch in DC, we'll outlive them!!

And who decides who is elderly?

Note how these crooked MSM and the democrats are skillful at lying by calling 23 year olds as "children".
So by that same elastic standard they will probably call anyone over 40 as "ELDERLY" so as to gain maximum coverage for their evil plans.

You are on target. At 62 I just keep my mouth shut at the doctor’s office. Of course my Internist is a staunch CONSERVATIVE. But he is retiring early because of 0’nazicare.

Next we know they will be reporting us for which RX drugs we take. I take 5 mg of valium for Fibromyalgia muscle pain, not as a nerve pill. Sure works better than that Lyrica, which has so many horrible side effects.

They already are. Controlled substances prescriptions are tracked at the State level to keep track of patients who may be receiving multiple prescriptions from different doctors or pharmacies. Any healthcare professional or law enforcement officer can review your data.

Don't think so? Here's a link to one State's registry.

Yeah, I can see that. Senility doesn't happen overnight in most cases. But it should be the family, not the government who makes that decision with a doctors assistance.

Anyway, it's being able to drive the car too. There is a point there too that you have to decide when they can't any longer. Reflexes and reaction times get slower. The car can be just as dangerous as a gun. My 88 year old mother insists she can still drive. Trust me, she can't and won't no matter what she says. It's not easy to think it let alone say it to her, because it's Mom, but that's how it is.
