The media tells us that babies and kids are first. The seniors don't even have a number; if they did it would be "0." How can the swine flu vaccine only be administered to those under 65? Isn't that age discrimination, which is against the law?
The scary part of this denial is it sets an age limit for the future where seniors can be denied other medical benefits. Other than a bruised knee, they will have to pay out-of-pocket costs (even with insurance) for treatment. If not, they will be given "end-of-life counseling" and sent to some hospice to await their end.
Maybe Medicare can help by enacting Oregon's assisted-suicide policies.
