I can't imagine my parents accepting any existence that so sapped their individualities and treated them like little children.

Obviously not everyone, but the majority certain is living longer. All of the male members of my family died around age 75 from heart attacks. I will be 82 shortly. The reason being I had heart bypass surgery when I was fifty, adding over thirty years to my life Today with the medication available on the market I do not have any heart problems. My blood pressure is around 145/60 and my cholesterol is below 130, down from 220 when I had the bypass surgery. I had the surgery when it was new and today thousands are alive that would have died in the sixties or earlier. Other types of surgery, like transplants that are saving those that would have died from liver and lung diseases. Many types of cancer can be cured as well. Younger children are not subjected to the diseases that killed many in the past, from measles to polio. Many are living a better life as well with the availability to replace knees, hips etc., as well as the ability of reattaching severed limbs The average the life span is more than 15 years longer, for a person born today, than it was in 1926 when I was born. Take a walk through any cemetery and take note of all of the children that died below the age of two and the large percentage of adults that died in their thirties, as just one indicator of the increase in the average life span in the US. mike "n5hsr" <n5hsr(a)comcast.net> wrote in message news:l5GdndDr4JcGcWvbnZ2dnUVZ_r6rnZ2d(a)comcast.com... > > > Dear Mike, > > Not everyone is benefiting from modern healthcare.
