- Go to Robert Reich To Seniors: It's Too Expensive...So We're Going To Let You Die

I had not been aware of this (we Canadians don't always pay sufficient attention to the US, let alone US politics; we don't even know who your current Queen is - is it Queen Nancy? LOL) - in any case, if RR was serious, this is outrageous.
But I don't know the context in which this was said, so let me play devil's advocate here: is it possible that he was being ironic? In the way Swift was ironic in his A Modest Proposal?

there will be a point when I will want to die --
not be on expensive treatment to give me a few months of what is basically a life that's already over.
too much, tens of thousands of dollars are expended extending lives that should have ended.
but of course what you want is the tens of thousands of medical bills to be owed by the children, don't you?
right now there are younger lives lost, people in their most productive years.
I sort of feel that you aren't in a position where you would lack health care or the funds to pay for it.
Were you in such a position, there's a chance you might think differently.
