I do know the category, but chronic lying is pathological.

Thanks for reinforcing the concept of efficiency in the use of health care money like Emanuel and Czar Sunstin. They don’t exactly say Kill Grandma but do say don’t spend money on her. My Dad is 94 and had medical procedures when he was 80, but his quality of life must have been terrible since then because he won tennis medals at the Good life Games in Vero Beach at the age of 90.

So do we do chemo and operate on an 80 year old with prostate cancer in the advanced stages of dementia and then spend months on his rehab when it isn’t likely to improve the quality of his life, because of the dementia, or extend his life for more than one year or so according to the available medical data? And if we do, when will it be appropriate to say no to a senior with a mental illness, or one or more underlying physical conditions, with respect to very expensive end-of-life medical and hospital care?

There are a flood of 80 years old coming our way because through Medicare seniors have access to excellent geriatric care and medications that prolong life. Do we just pay for whatever medical procedures and medications that seniors want without question? And what does that do to the quality of life for the younger American taxpayer who has to pay the tab and maintain some decent quality of life for himself/herself and his/her family?

This is a deadly serious issue for those who have to pay the bill, and how that affects the future of our economy, as much or more as it affects seniors who enjoy a carte blanche health care system under Medicare.

if it is the opposite of something in one of Sarah Palin’s word salads, it must be true!

princess pandora”s word salad has no opposites

it opposes itself

it is completely self contained and self negating

a complete nutball of alternate reality

All I have to say to Mrs. Palin is this:

How can I miss you when you won’t go away?

People suffering from dementia are not “crazy.

I’m sorry, but I think Crazy is completely apropos. The song is about a destructive relationship, and the singer knows it’s a destructive relationship.

The only difference is that Caribou Barbie’s Palinistas don’t realize that the relationship is destructive.
