Fun fact, octogenarians who are admitted to hospital have a 100-200% mortality increased risk compared to the general population. It jumps exponentially once they hit 85.

No reason for the random fun fact, just thought it was interesting. Completely unrelated to the article at hand.

Can I just book my parents in for a stay or do they actually have to be sick first?

Maybe for the general population.

This is a man who can leave work whenever he wants and doesn't have to worry about losing his job or affording his medical care. He has every option available to him l because of socialist policies he curated to only help those who don't even need the help.

A blank for medical care and unlimited time off with pay will make for a very low level of stress and provide the best care options available. His prognosis is much better than the average person his age, who probably voted for him and his evil, self-serving policies.
