How to Really Keep Health Care Costs Down

Health care is apparently cheaper if you just let the poor bastards die...especially the smokers and the obese.

We should applaud them. If you choose bad habits, after all, it's better for the rest of us because you die faster. Hell, let's give them free cigarettes, beer, and sausage....unlimited.

What a great fucking strategy.

Sick people cost less because they don't live as long. So if we convert this to an equation and solve to maximize variable X, where X = health care savings, we're better off just letting people die sooner.

Clap.....Clap....Clap.....

BRAVO!

These Dutch researchers are so frickin' brilliant!

Seriously, though, I wonder if the same would be true in the US, where we actually ramp up resource utilization exponentially in the last 6 months!
