Lots more, but I'm busy right now.

When my father was 80, he had a hip replaced, under Bozomacare I
suspect they would not do so because an 80 yr old prob would not live
long enough to get any use out of it. *By his 86th b-day, he had worn
the first replacement out (too much adventure travel like hiking up
volcanoes etc) and had it replaced again which I am sure BozomaCare
would not do. *By 88 he suddenly developed Parkinsons *for which I
suspect Bozomacare would do very little. *His solution to keep up his
ability to walk as long as possible was to literally take up a lot
more walking. *By 91, had to use a walker but still goes a pretty good
distance every day. *At 92, sudden heart probs and I suspect *a
BozomaCare death panel would sentence him to death. Without
BozomaCare, he will prob live to be 100. *His health care is a combo
of VA, private and medicare. *He has some sort of pvt insurance that
very happily pays him to stay out of a nursing home. *This was a
nursing home policy my parents bought about 20 yrs ago but I do not
have all the details. *The policy pays if they go into a nursing home
but also pays somehow if they stay out of one when they have probs.

Ya know, young men are rarely proud of their parents but as we age our
previously clueless parents become admirable.
