高齢者医療費3割負担が閣議決定！

WTF! Cabinet approved 30% of the medical expenses for the elderly😱


【追記】

9月15日は日本の祝祭日の一つであり、その意義は、高齢者に敬意を表すること。しかし、現在の日本は、一部の資産家を除いて、高齢者にとっては実に優しくない国となっている。その現状をアイロニカルに日本語と英語で俳句を交えて表現した。

Note: September 15, one of Japan's national holidays, called Respect for the Aged Day, is meant to honor the elderly. However, modern Japan has become a rather harsh place for the elderly, except for the wealthiest. This reality is expressed ironically through both Japanese and English haiku in the video.
