經常因「大嘴」講錯話引起不滿的日本財相麻生太郎，今日再惹下口禍。他出席社會保障制度改革國民會議時，針對老年病患者的高額醫療費問題說：「希望他們能夠快一點死」。
他說：「想死的人還讓他們活著。試想想，用政府的錢來支付高額醫療費，這些人應該心虛。希望他們能夠快點死，不這樣考慮的話，無法解決問題。」
他說，一個月耗費幾百萬到千萬日元的醫療費，這樣的情況，厚生勞動省應該最清楚。他表示，政府財政負擔用在頻死邊緣的老人身上，最不值得。

Japan’s finance minister Taro Aso said Monday the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care.
Aso, who also doubles as deputy prime minister, reportedly said during a meeting of the National Council on Social Security Reforms: “Heaven forbid if you are forced to live on when you want to die. You cannot sleep well when you think it’s all paid by the government.
“This won’t be solved unless you let them hurry up and die,” he said.
“I don’t need that kind of care. I will die quickly,” he said adding he had left written instructions that his life is not artificially prolonged.
During the meeting, he reportedly referred to “tube people” when talking of patients who cannot feed themselves.
