This is a video of Michael Bloomberg talking about government healthcare rationing.
This video of Bloomberg saying we should deny care to people once they're past a certain age (because it isn't worth it) is everything about him which is so awful.https://t.co/iL1FGf3Ha0

Let me make this perfectly clear. This is not a Jewish value. Absolutely and without equivocation, in no school of Jewish teaching would this be considered acceptable.
It is a duty to choose life.
A doctor might say “at 95, I don’t recommend treatment because the side effects of chemotherapy will kill you faster than cancer.”
But to say “at 95, it’s just not worth the money to treat you” is evil.
It opens the door to some bureaucrat deciding what the value of all human life might be. Do we stop treating people for cancer at age 70? How old does someone need to be before we decide even a blood transfusion or a course of antibiotics is too expensive?
What about Bloomberg himself? He’s 78 years old. He would be 82 at the end of his first term. If he wins a second term and gets cancer is he too old or is he special because he’s President and a billionaire?
Of course, he thinks he’s special and the rules don’t apply to him.
Bloomberg can call himself many things, but he can’t call himself a Jew anymore. He’s a Progressive and has given up every value and shred of morality that has been handed down to us by God.
How long before your party affiliation determines your healthcare options? How about your facebook posts?
How long? Depends.
If a Democrat wins in November, then about 11 months.
Progressives are eugenicists. They want the power to decide who lives and who dies. Remember — they tried to legalize murdering infants in Virginia.
Lurking in the shadows of the “euthanasia” movement in Europe is this exact notion, that if you’re too old you should get out of the way. It doesn’t get stated very often but you hear the whispers occasionally.
A somewhat more benign version was going around Holland at the time when the government was seriously pushing the idea of early retirement (62-ish rather than 65) — “free up the job for a young person”. As if early retirement was a useful solution to government-induced unemployment.
J.KB,
With two out of the three Democrat Presidential Candidates being old Jewish guys, I am afraid you are going to writing lots and lots of these posts explaining that their progressive beliefs are not you and yours. Especially when they inevitably try to tell me that I shouldn’t be allowed to defend myself from evildoers.
It would have been nice if we saw this audience object, but that may have been cut out?
