I believe that when a person no longer knows their name, can't feed themselves or clean themselves maybe it's time to Logan's Run'em. Logan's Run, for those of you who don't know, is a sci-fi movie made in the 70's and set in the 2274, about a culture that puts to death people who turn 30 because the population cannot sustain itself because of the high costs of Healthcare. ๐ Logan is played by Michael York and is the main character who is aging out, doesn't want to die and so he runs.
Seems silly but this plot line may be closer to being realized in our society then we think.
Seriously. What do we do with all these Alzheimer's patients while they sit in front of a window waiting to die and end up costing the Healthcare system billions of dollars?
They are fed. They are clothed and their diapers are changed. They are bathed, they are medicated. They will never know their name. Their brain has been eaten away from the inside-out. To make matters worse they can languish like this for years. The body is a resilient thing.
If these individuals are euthanized, killed, or murdered, would that not revive the healthcare system ...big time?
And I say "when" not "if", Trump implements this "program", the money saved from taking care of these people will invigorate the entire system.
(Check out the shriveled Alzheimer's brain below)
Why do you think the Healthcare talks are secret? And why do you think the Democrats will agree.
But on the flip side, caring for these people is also a very profitable. There are hospitals, and doctors, nurses, medications, beds, and that's just the beginning. When they leave the hospital, the nursing home, kicks in. There are Caregivers , more nurses and doctors, diapers, food, clothing, soap, sheets, towels, pillows, and more medications.
If we do Logan's Run the Alzheimer's patients that would cut out the sales of billions of dollars of prescription drugs that these people ingest. Check this out. "The numbers don't lie." (Huckabee- Sanders)
According to the Alzheimer's Association, these people cost the Healthcare system 236 billion dollars last year in the U.S. The Huffington Posts also pointed out that around 150 billion of that is paid out by Medicaid and Medicare. And get this...worldwide Alzheimer's cost 605 billion last year. That's 1% of the entire worlds gross domestic product. It's a global problem.
In this scenario, the drug companies the Senators and the Wall Street Boy investors are not going to loose billions of dollars in order to save the Healthcare system. Somehow they have got to find a way to divert investments in a way that will not only cover their short term loss but produce profit in the long term. Logan's Running 'em will cost billions of dollars. Here's where the Art of The Deal comes in. What they are negotiating now is what percentage of the money saved by implementing this new "program"will go back into the private sector in order to lower the costs of Healthcare and at the same time compensate for the huge losses that these ancillary companies will suffer.
I believe that once this deal is done the Politicians will go back to their constituents and sell the Alzheimer's thing because no one wants Alzheimer's and no one wants to burden their family for years. Right now this is what happens.
When that deal is made. Trump Wins!
This I get. This I agree with. This idea should be explored.
But what I heard on Tucker Carlson last night seems to me outrageous. (6/29/2017) and it made me think. (Yes I do that sometimes...think)
It was suggested that if a drug addict is treated twice, revived and sent on their way, that is all well and good. But if that same drug addict needs treatment a third time the state will no longer๐ treat them.
What? Yep?
Message to Drug Addict;
There will be no third try for you. We will not pick you up by ambulance we will not admit you into the hospital but we will let you die on the street and then pick up your body. And how will we know that this has been your third time? Don't worry silly, the first time you O.D. you will be outfitted with a chip that can be scanned before any decisions are made to save you or not.
And then I asked myself... when does this stop? At 30? in 2274?๐
