RUSH: The former mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, has a brother, Ezekiel — nicknamed Zeke — who\u2019s a medical doctor. He was one of the chief architects of Obamacare. Zeke chairs the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, The Atlantic magazine published an article he wrote. It was entitled: \u201cWhy I Hope to Die at 75.\u201d He said Americans live too long in a diminished state. He doubted whether older Americans\u2019 consumption of resources is worth their meager contribution to society.<\/p>\n

Well, now that he\u2019s 62, Dr. Emanuel was asked what he thinks now. He says he hasn\u2019t changed his mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"He says only a very small number of people over 75 are active, engaged, and creative. He criticizes Americans for claiming that \u201cchildren are our most valuable resource,\u201d when we don\u2019t act that way. He thinks it\u2019s terrible that the government spends way more on the health needs of senior citizens than on kids. Well, kids don\u2019t get sick, you id…? (laughing)<\/p>\n

Dr. Emanuel intends to practice what he preaches. When he turns 75, he\u2019s planning to call Bernie Sanders and say, “Hey, can you abort me?” He wishes more of you would do the same. After 75, skip medical care, go away somewhere, and die — after calling a Democrat president or candidate — quickly, so more tax money can be used \u201cfor the children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now you know what passes for leftist \u201cmedical ethics\u201d these days. You have been warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
