Today I read a newspaper headline at the kiosk: Thousands of centenarians to blame for health insurance deficits!
Well, hello, the cat's finally out of the bag. What many have always suspected, for example, the government, health insurance companies, and even pension funds, have no interest in citizens getting "too old."
Ideal age to die:
1. From the perspective of the pension fund: 65 years
2. From the perspective of the health insurance companies: when a certain level of medical treatment costs is reached.
3. From the perspective of the government: anyone who doesn't pay taxes is basically superfluous
The way lies are spread about aging is demonstrated by an example on Web.de. It actually states, "...that lifestyle has relatively little influence on individual life expectancy." A study in the USA supposedly found this. According to the study, longevity depends solely on genes. So, smoke free! Have a drink now and then, and those few pounds of fat will be comfortable... And exercise is also harmful; it just wears out your bones.
