Why charge people a "penalty" simply because they get older?

An older person who is overweight should pay more than an older person who's not overweight.*

People should not be charged more simply because they get older. Of course there will be increases because of inflation in medical care etc..

Should I pay less? I'm in medicare so I do pay less.*

How do you know what lifestyle they lived and how healthy they were, any facts to support the comment? Seems there is always an experience or story to fit every situation.
People that think they are perfectly healthy find out different everyday. I would guess every member of your entire family is also just as healthy as you.

Basically you are saying everyone that is not perfect like you think you are, should be paying more and you should be paying less as you say you do..

I don't think we need to picking on any particular group and pointing fingers at others including the elderly is where I stand. Ha! ha!
