    What does age have to do with anything? Everyone deserves all of their body parts to be healthy not just “Non-Luxury” ones.

      We should be able to care for our elders without forcing 74 year old humans to work so they can eat and sleep under a roof, but not even get dental care.

        We should care for our elders, yes. They also have the lowest poverty rates in the country while young people are experiencing the worst poverty and unempyment rates with a bleak future. Our society is so wealthy. Healthcare should be a human right no matter your age.
