Oh yeah, getting older is about personal responsibility. So are genetic disorders, stress, accidents, and everything else that happens to people. Let's just blame the victims. Again.

I will go so far as to say, if money gets in the way of people getting the health care they need, then maybe it's time to do away with money.
Or, at the very least, base it on life and on the time one lives and works rather than on debt. The credit basis for creating money (and hoarding wealth in the form of the indebtedness of others) in the US is inhumane, it's disrespectful of life, and it's doomed to eventual failure. The government can only prop up the too-big-to-fail banks for so long before they'll flutter onto the ground in a deflated heap, just like any house of cards.

How exactly do you do away with money?
We don't have money problems we have greed problems and we're not alone in this.
I'm sure if everyone uses their imagination a little, the idea of no money wouldn't seem so outlandish. There were eons of the existence of humans in which there was no money. OMG, how'd we survive that?! !?

It would be conceivable to do away with if there was no scarcity of resources or social hierarchy relying upon it

Yes, but things are a little more complicated these days. How do you COMPENSATE each step of the process so that it can, in turn, COMPENSATE it's own suppliers, employees, etc....?
There has to be some kind of liquid medium/currency that is transferable.
