Reply #4: I'm with you.

If I get cancer or anything else deemed an end stage disease, I'm foregoing treatment in favor of hospice type care until the end comes. I won't be able to live the rest of my time with a roof over my head otherwise. If we have a depression and our lifelong savings for retirement becomes worthless, it will even be more important for those of us seniors who are not Warren Buffett or Ruppert Murdoch to make a graceful exit from this "vale of tears".
