    Pensions are lower when they die quickly after retiring. The medical bills at age 70 or 80 will be the same. People use hospitals when dying no matter what.

      I hope you’re joking - did you forget the /s?

      Cus “dying” in a hospital can be quite different… if you’re sick at the age of 70, but live till 90, or if you’re a healthy biker that only got sick at 85, and still lived till 90. People die quite differently, and a healthy lifestyle can reduce suffering and cost.

        Sick people at 70 don’t live till 90 buddy, they die at 72

        We’re increasing retirement age quite a bit because we live longer now.

        In that regard it’s great. But if retired? Better if they die quickly

          I mean my sick grandma was sick at 30 and lived till she was 80. I hope you understand that people can and will live quite differently? Though hospital bills don’t help.

            My mom’s family all died young. Smoked and lots of alcohol. Unhealthy lifestyle is correlated with early deaths.

            At age 30 you don’t get sick from lifestyle. Lifestyle kills later but quickly.
