I hope you realize the Healthcare system will abandon you. It will be like retroactive abortion. Actuarial tables will decide whether you age warrants the expnse of certain costly procedures. It is only fair to spend on the younger people.
Obama stated that a large area of healthcare waste is on the elderly.

Charles Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist with the Washington Post, has charged that while the whole point of Medicare and Medicaid is to decrease costs, the only way Obama can do it is through rationing of health care. While his insistence that the best system would be a “highly competitive, privatized health insurance,” propped up by a “government-subsidized transition to portability, breaking the absurd and ruinous link between health insurance and employment” is absurd and faulty in itself, Krauthammer is more than willing to admit that the president is moving toward a universal health system that would see survivability criteria used for a rationing system.
Krauthammer:
Why do you think the stimulus package pours $1.1 billion into medical “comparative effectiveness research”? It is the perfect setup for rationing. Once you establish what is “best practice” for expensive operations, medical tests and aggressive therapies, you’ve laid the premise for funding some and denying others.
It is estimated that a third to a half of one’s lifetime health costs are consumed in the last six months of life. Accordingly, Britain’s National Health Service can deny treatments it deems not cost-effective -- and if you’re old and infirm, the cost-effectiveness of treating you plummets. In Canada, they ration by queuing. You can wait forever for so-called elective procedures like hip replacements.
Things don’t look so well for grandma and grandpa under Obama’s vision for universal health care, given that the new system the administration seems to desire amounts to a passive approach to euthanasia.
It is conceivable and even probable that given the present administration’s commitment to abortion on demand, the government option may be to earmark millions of dollars for covering baby killings, wiping out a younger generation, and an older one at the same time.
