I think under a government system, the incentive will be to not offer as much treatment to the elderly than to others merely because elderly are net tax users and not net tax payers.
And thats how it should be, and it isn't today because the old are sick and need medicine so the pharamceutical companies run their schemes to get doctors to do all those tests on elderlies so they can give them ridiculously overpriced medicine that doesnt work for what its supposed to.
I'm pretty sure Obama mentioned pharmaceutical reform somewhere in his healthcare plan.
And honestly, why should an 80 year old person get a liver over a 25 year old. They shouldn't. There should be an age cuttoff to where you can either euthanize a human or give them enough medication to make them comfortable.
And I am in full support of human euthanization.
