So, when conservatives are in their later years and develop cancer or Alzheimer's I expect that they will expect the government to help subsidize the hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses so that they do not go bankrupt, even if they can afford it.

Momma raised ugly children, not stupid children. If somebody is giving away money, I will stand in line for it. That doesn't make me a hypocrite, that makes me smarter than the people giving the money away. If it is free, it is for me. My tax money is paying for it, may as well use it. The difference is I won't cry if and when the bad things happen. I won't blame somebody else because I have problems. Unlike a liberal, I never look to blame my problems on somebody else. Just as it always all about me and mine, my problems are my own.
