Kaiser doesn't treat many people over the age of 65, because the overwhelming majority of them aren't working, and those that are, aren't working somewhere they can get Kaiser healthcare.

Any healthcare system can be made 'cheap' and 'good', if it mostly cuts out old people.

If Canada just kicked old people off the healthcare bus to die alone, I'm sure both the waitlists, and the tax bills would be a lot smaller.

I don't think you've been in a Kaiser facility if you believe this.

I know a couple people over 65 who are at Kaiser.
