Bring It On, Murderers!

It appears The NYT wants to see us dead, judging from the Ross Douthat item we reference directly below, & this op-ed.

With so much evidence of wasteful and even harmful treatment, shouldn’t we instantly cut some of the money spent on exorbitant intensive-care medicine for dying, elderly people and redirect it to pediatricians and obstetricians offering preventive care for children and mothers? Sadly, we are very far from this goal. A cynic would argue that this can’t happen because children can’t vote (even if their parents can), whereas members of AARP and the American Medical Association not only vote but can also hire lobbyists to keep the money flowing.

We hope we can carry a gun into whatever hospital we check into. Strictly for self-defense, of course. Aging wretches of the world unite!!
