Packer,
I know exactly what your post was saying! The idea that you want to keep the above tests reserved only for the old folks is absurd. Either we start getting real physicals for all age groups or your argument allows those unhealthy at a younger age to fool the system. I thought one of the big reasons to keep the age 60 rule was safety. I will sign up for more stringent physicals. Many out there are afraid to subject themselves to better physicals because they are already "70" physically.
