Or the scene from "Soylent Green"...with Edgar G. Robinson where they heartily invite the elderly for their Bon Voyage experience. Is how they also made use of the elderly, the sick, the supposed worthless...scoop 'em up to make into those little green wafers to feed the general population...
Dh is sick right now, and you know men 
so in his dramatic voice said I should end it and do something useful with him, like in the Soylent green movie, he does hate waste.
Love that one.

I'm really not talking about how well they are cared for. Although in saying that, I don't think my elderly grandmother does without. My point was that society forgets about the elderly. There are plenty of old age homes that can attest to that.

Old people actually have quite a lot of political muscle in Britain and the US now.

Re: Do you like it in the USA?
I have a real hard time believing this... I have a well paying job with "good" health care coverage and I have had a hard time balancing expenses to fend of poverty.
My wife had our second and third child... she was in labour for 5 hours, 4 of which were at home, she pop out the babies in literally an hour each time, without a doctor, epidural, or a f**king aspirin, then we left the following morning... that cost us $16,000 to $18,000 each, with "excellent" medical coverage. Our 4th child miscarried and that cost us $40,000, to scrape the inside of my wife's uterus. (sick - Even death is sold at a premium).... I could tell you more horror stories from my friends, but I think everyone has heard them...

Wait till you have been here for a while, when the honeymoon is over then let us know... Don't get me wrong, I love it here too but the grass is not always greener and the streets are not paved with gold.
