Some occupations like CNA and pipe fitting are very physically demanding and require heavy lifting. Do you think you would be physically capable of performing a job like that until age 70? Alzheimers can make a person incapable of even performing an office job. Can republicans see into the future? Are they 100% sure there will be a cure for alzheimers in 20 years? Also, Republicans need to stop suggesting cuts in areas that are impossible to cut. A good example of this is putting spending caps on medicaid. What happens when nursing home patients reach their cap? Impossible.
Like Alan Grayson had said during the health care reform debates: The Republican health care plan--1. don't get sick. 2. if you do get sick, die quickly.
Once those on medicare reach their cap, they can be left to die.
Though I do wonder how a lifetime spending cap would affect my 27 year old disabled son who is on medicare. He would reach a cap long before he even became "elderly". Yikes!!
