Yeah - I don't want to act like I'm supporting that bit of right-wing fearmongering at all . . . but it's worth noting that there is no single problem, no spigot to turn off, that makes health care reasonably priced all of the sudden, and old people (who are the most overrepresented lobbying group in the US) are just the most expedient example.

Sorry, those over 60! You're just SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE.

I get ya...in the end, this is called rationing. It's what they do in Europe. It makes sense, but as soon as you bring it up, people flip out.
