<<Your question assumes that protection of old people is a moral imperative and freedom is not. Is that what you mean.?

If you mean the freedom to not pay taxes to help them, then yes, of course. It is a moral imperative.

Because otherwise you are saying the freedom to not pay taxes is more important than saving old poor women.

That is what many on the right are saying. Although, they all get stuck when the question is posed as such.

It also assumes that the ideas in question actually do provide protection for the people in question. And that previous policy does not. He's talking about older people. They are already covered by Medicare.
