It's a tough issue when you're talking about unfortunates like you illustrate, but I'll give you another example of what I'm trying to say... My father-in-law, who was very unhealthy due to a lifetime of sedentary overeating, went into a coma a number of years back and was stuck full of tubes and kept physically alive for months afterward, at a horrendous cost. Meanwhile, we have kids in this country who've never seen a pediatrician because their parents can't afford the outrageous insurance and medical bills.

You can call it wealth redistribution, but it's really more about inverted priorities.

... and the fact that the elderly have political clout doesn't play any small part in their ability to tilt the playing field in their direction, either.
