Those old people should have paid for the undercoating
If you want to give more money to old people for their healthcare, that is a legitimate aim, and it would be better if we were to talk about it as an aim per se... and maybe get the money by taxing healthcare for young people (which is very regressive and quite painful for many people who are not rich young computer programmers.)
It's almost as if we should tax people proportional to their ability to pay.
