OK, I've got it: The simple solution to the Medicare dilemma.
We simply need to adopt the age-old custom of abandoning the elderly in the wilderness when they become unable to care for themselves. Here in Wisconsin, I think it would work best in winter. You just put Gramma out in the woods with a blanket & a quart of brandy. 2 quarts if she's got a personal history that includes a high alcohol tolerance.
If your winters aren't cold enough to guarantee the result within a humane time frame, think this would also work pretty well in deserts. Maybe California families could use Death Valley for the purpose, and make the place really earn its name.

Change "Gramma" to "liberals" and you'd have a winner.

2. I am absolutely convinced at this point I will die alone, with no medical care, and in
so much pain that I can't even imagine it.
This sounds like hyperbole but I honestly wish I had my own secret stash of cyanide capsules so that I could take one of those instead of dying slowly of, say, cancer, and dealing with all the pain of that without medical care or pain management.
Yeah. Say, liberalloner, I heard that a hefty percentage of doctors are considering retirement rather than face the nightmare that is Obamacare.

10. Cold is more humane, I think. It would be good to include travel money
for those elders who don't live in cold states.
Don't forget the beer money! :-)

13. They could expose unwanted girl babies, also...
I mean, why use a single solution for just one Republican sociatal problem. Clearly, they don't like women either.
I know a bunch of conservative guys who clearly LOVE women.

Hook, meet line and sinker.
Their abject stupidity knows no bounds.

Aren't the primitives rather fond of cultures that do this anyway?

Only if they are not republican or conservative.
Otherwise, it's all Bush's Fault.

Well, I find the contradiction of the primitives inexplicable here.
Abandonment of the ancients is a popular feature in cultures that the primitives admire.
People in this society generally find such an idea abhorrent.
Since this is the case, isn't it an instance of--gasp!--the "American exceptionalism" that the primitives scorn?
Aren't the primitives frankly admitting that this society is more decent and civilized than many other societies?

I'm tired of these assholes pretending like they give a damn about anyone else, when all they really want is to control these people that they claim to want to help. Study after study has proven that conservatives are more charitable than liberals. We constantly put our money where our mouths are. Liberals love to whine about the poor, but most of the left cares about the poor only in the sense that they want to keep them poor and keep them voting Democrat.

REALITY BREAK!!!
Dear lurking Duchebags, it was your beloved donks and King Obama that cut $500 billion in Obama HellCare and then another $800 billion in later legislation so that 30 million lazy moochers and leeches could get insurances and 300 million could get third world care.
That. Is. All.
