Actually, funny you should mention it, my 96 year old grandmother get livid when the topic of vaccinating and providing excessive healthcare to the Elderly comes up. According to her "there's a million children in this country that need healthcare and vaccinations a lot more that a bunch of people who aren't going to live to see their next birthday anyway."
Further more she feels that Money spent on healthcare for anyone over the age of 75 is a complete waste and should be spent taking care of people with a future ahead of them.

Mind you she comes from a time when 40 was considered old. (Her parents died of natural causes in their 40's)
