Democrats: If you love your parents, DO NOT vote for Bloomberg!!!!

It was Mike Bloomberg, in 2011, (NOT Bernie Sanders as I thought previously), who suggested that over a certain age, elderly cancer patients are a burden to taxpayers and should be denied treatment. He indicated that it was his belief that at a certain age, elderly Americans should be denied treatment and left to die.

No problem with Bloomberg's GOD complex...is there? How old is HE? I think he should receive the exact same healthcare as all the folks he wants to condemn to death without treatment or help.

So...who do you love? Grandpa? Grams? Nana? Say goodbye if they need expensive medical treatment. Bloomberg thinks they are a burden. What will he do to our Veterans?

This guy is a nightmare. A monster.

@Peppa Well, apparently Mike Bloomberg will decide...based on how much it will cost. He has a God complex the size of Texas.

@4meAndyou i kind if see what he's saying, but personally I think that is more of a medical assessment and I think a person at 90 showing minimal chance of survival is not a good candidate but also what do you just leave them to die in pain? No you need to fully explain the pros and cons to them and family, but be discussing more how to make things easier to bare. But again I feel like by doing that you're condemning a person which I think is incredibly unfair especially as they've paid into the state for years on end.

Its increasingly difficult. Because we have told people possibilities are endless and become yes people out of fear.

@Peppa My grandfather lived to age 93. In his late 80's they cured him of prostate cancer. Then he developed cancer of the mouth from smoking, and they cured him of that. My mother practically worshipped him, and if they had decided he could not have treatment for those two cancers because he was too old, she would have yapped like an angry Chihuahua for the rest of HER natural life, to anyone who would listen. And she would have been biting ankles and telling ALL of her friends not to vote for the guy who killed her father.

@4meAndyou well that's very fortunate for your dad to be around during a time when money was a bit more expendable.

I don't know why this has happened but £5 is equivalent to about a penny.
Everything is too expensive these days

@Peppa My grandfather was a wealthy man.
