I used to hear that growing up. I remember asking, but what if their family doesn't help them, or what if they have no family.
I think the unspoken value is that if you are too much of a burden, you are supposed to die. Most people feel that way. I do. If it gets to the point there is no quality of life, fuck it.
The question is, who makes the call? Repubs w their health care? Family? or me?
The Repubs, like Romney were able to keep her quality of life high enough to make it worth it. Those Repubs will have even more of an advantage with Trumpcare tax breaks. The middle class, what's left of it, and the poor, will have to call it quits sooner. They buy themselves time and quality of life, and yet they want even more than they can use, at the expense of the masses, who suffer.
Let them eat cake, is truly their attitude.
Well, at least your relatives volunteer.
