The option you are proposing is to have a country full of elderly people who can't go to the doctor. While letting these people die from lack of health care would shrink the deficit, it's not going to get much public support. No one wants to see their Mom or Grandma die because they can't see doctors.

I, for one, would welcome our insurance overlords. I'd like to submit myself for work on their death panels.
