I don't think it is uncharitable at all.
"I saved my whole life, and wanted to make sure I could give a little back to my loving family, but instead the healthcare industry soaked it all up during my final months."
An awful lot of people in this country will never get an inheritance; why is it fair to ask them to pay higher taxes so that the most privileged people can leave bigger inheritances to their kids?
I have no problem with people leaving money to their kids - after they pay their own bills. Don't ask me to pay them so your kids can get a bigger windfall.
