<p>Medicare, SS,…etc. is unsustainable in a current form, no matter how you slice it and dice it. Both were designed as a Ponzi schemas with the average “bail” out age of 65. Currently 65 is a new 50 or something… and population is not getting healthier but rather live longer while being pretty sick after certain age and require huge amount care because it does not want to live “healthy” and because drugs prolong the life of a sick body. These are facts. The age of Medicae / SS has to be moved or they both simply will not exist. Average SS recipient receives about 3 times his/her contribution. Ponzi schmas collapse, they cannot go forever, if receiving end is encreasing while contributon are going down (the economy will not improve if forces are in place to hold it back),
Those who wants to try socialism, should have made an individual choice of trying it instead of forcing everybody else around them to march there along with them. Medicine is only one part of it. There are no winners there except those close to the feeder. Just re-read “the Animal Farm” , it is absolutely correct book that reflects the correct reality and written by a genius.</p>
