I think the point was that seniors as a demographic generally vote for politicians that don’t support those policies, against the wishes of the majority of the rest of the population.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean we should be denying care to anyone.

That dude's throwaway is doing real damage by normalizing the deflection of blame onto the patient.
