I really hate this idea "old folks = the weak".
If you are not real idiot, you must notice this equality isn't true.
No wonder sick person can not work regardless of any age.
Why are only old folks released from charges?
There are people on the front lines of work who are in their 70s.
There are people who save huge money without any pension payment.
There are people who have enough money to live on their high-yield interest.
If you say it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of age, why don't you propose that those who can afford to make money or save money must pay it at the same rate with young generation?
I think new health-care system for the elderly is not so bad. I even think all citizen(include old folks) have to pay the insurance payment and medical bills at all the same rate.
But this case will work on the assumption that medical social worker give help in every difficult case of payment.
I think the Local Autonomy has to put a lot of medical social workers everywhere, and has to make a network of them. Then, if you really can't afford to pay the insurance, you don't have to pay it.
In the case, there will be many people who cannot keep a national health insurance certificate. But doctor cannot turn down to see you. After you got cure, a medical social worker will give some advice about easy payment, or it might be no payment if you cannot really afford to pay it regardless any age.
However if you hadn't been paying the insurance illegally even though you had enough money to pay, you will be arrested, and you have to pay full-bills of medical care, and all the insurance fee of unpaid months with high interest.
How about that idea?
Thank you for reading.
