Japan’s finance minister Taro Aso said Monday the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care.
“This won’t be solved unless you let them hurry up and die,” he said.
“I don’t need that kind of care. I will die quickly,” he said adding he had left written instructions that his life is not artificially prolonged.
He’s not totally wrong. The bulk of Medicare money here in the U.S. (and I can only assume it’s worse in Japan) gets spent trying to pull out a few more so-so years from elderly people. It should really be going to children who haven’t yet lived a full life.
