Ain't that grand. Apparently, we're supposed to keep the old people alive, but the young people like me, who may have cancer, should have no way to get health insurance. It's OK if I die off so long as she gets to continue enjoying her retirement in Florida. She should have every right to get taxpayers to pay for her health care though.
I have only wished death on a very few people in my life. That lady was one of them.

I'll do you one better, I believe 20/20 ran a story about a bunch of old people in some retirement resort in Florida, and this was not a nursing home. These were people with money who were living comfortably. They all visited the doctor as often as allowed by Medicare, to the point where one of them actually said that going to the doctor was a social event for them.
Read this, it made my blood boil just a bit. And you Stossel haters, don't skip it just because it's Stossel. Give it a whirl.
