You want smaller government but if ninety year old folks want heart transplants....you approve of the government paying for it?
You see where this flawed logic has me scratching my head folks?

You don't get a heart transplant just because you want one. When making a medical decision, all factors need to be considered, not just cost.
Allowing the government to make the decsion opens up all kinds of trouble. Should a Down's Syndrome, or MS sufferer be given life saving treatment? How about borderline MR individuals? There's lots of money to be saved by killing people. How about political opponents? Why should they be allowed treatment?
You're an idiot if you think this is only about 90 year olds who want to live. Giving the government the authority to override medical decisions is horrifying.
