Bloomberg in 2011 Suggested Denying Cancer Treatment to Elderly

Breitbart: Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg once suggested denying cancer treatment to elderly Americans as a solution to overcrowding in hospitals.

In 2011, while sitting Shiva with a Jewish family, Bloomberg said elderly Americans who are “95-years-old” should be denied treatment if they “show up with prostate cancer” to a hospital in order to shore up resources.

“If you show up with prostate cancer and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy … live a long life. There’s no cure, and we can’t do anything,’” Bloomberg said. “If you’re a young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not ready to do that yet.”

The comments came after a family member told Bloomberg how they had to wait in a New York City emergency room for 73 hours before their loved one died. read more

  2. The stunted little prick sure knows how to woo a crowd!

    He demonstrates through his words why he is such a good fit for the democrat party. He’ll need a little work on his deceptive techniques though.

  3. Medicine is not a zero-sum game.
    Cutting out some geezer’s cancerous prostate isn’t going to deprive some young buck of his Afrin nasal spray.

    Nihilism always – ALWAYS – chooses death.

    The choice isn’t as the politicians frame it – or, at least rarely – and Bloomberg is setting up a straw man in order to pursue his agenda of death.
    Some might argue that medical care for 95 year olds is wasted resources – ask Justice Ginsberg. Hey, Mike, by your calculus should we just bury this old anti-American socialist?

    And how should we deal with 78-year-old mental defectives with delusions of Presidency?
