[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why after age 65, I will not seek any life saving medical care. I don't want to pay, nor have my relatives pay, tens of thousands of dollars for me to merely exist in a LTC facility. [/quote] Talk to us when you are 65 and tell us if you feel the same way. [/quote] Ok, 65 is young, but what about 70, or 75? It’s really nearing the end of a lifespan. My father is kept alive by insane drugs, procedures, scans, experimental therapies. He is an alcoholic and has never taken care of his health, and yet he clings on [/quote] My mom is 80 and now a widow. She has opted to not pursue any of the standard cancer screenings. No more mammograms or colonoscopies for her. She says if that's what gets her, fine. [/quote]
