In response to HSAs through Vanguard posted by Normxxx:

You didn't grasp either concept.

Medicare should not apply to those with a net worth over 2 million because with the current system the working younger people are paying your way while they cannot easily afford their own. I think this will likely be the first thing changed.

The other concept you got twisted in your mind is the concept of ending life. I only spoke to the issue of one patient whose family did not want to end support, but whose ex-husband did. That was the only case that was addressed and the issue was that disagreement.

I guess you are this sanguine about ending someone else's daughter's life because you are someone who never spent the night with dying patients and their families fighting for their comfort, peace, and health.

People who are wealthy and expect to get Medicare for the rest of their lives remind me of the Danny DeVito character in:

"Medicare should not apply to those with a net worth over 2 million..."

This would start a whole new government concept. We have means testing now according to annual income, now we'd add means testing based on assets. What about somebody who inherited a small family business worth over $2 mil and can barely make ends meet? What about somebody with a $2 mil house in New York or California (not all that uncommon) who can barely make ends meet? We'd have a whole new government program with a new government police force, full of exceptions, highly politicized, and corrupt. A new culture of hiding assets would thrive. It would eventually get as corrupt as all the other government programs that are supposed to help, and end up making things worse.
