I enjoy Logan's Run too, but I'm not sure it's a palatable option for our society. If these fine people are paying their own way, that's $14k/month that's probably paying for a large staff of hard working people (and some administrators). If they've spent down all their money, and the state is paying for it, the state has a maximum, and it's not $14k/month.

In the alternative, where they're paying $2.5k/month, the other $9.5k/month is going to stay in their investment accounts, and when they eventually die, if they have a large enough estate, it'll be subject to the estate tax and society could use it for education or whatever, but more likely it'll just pass to their heirs, which helps the heirs, but doesn't help society that much.
