GST, you ought to know any government healthcare system will be set up so that the primary users (soon to be boomers in this case) will not pay for what they use. it will be no different than social security or medicaid - and those two alone will bankrupt the nation right now.

the fundamental theme here is that boomers resisted paying for anyone else's healthcare when they were earning lots of cash and retirement was "far away" for them, but now they want someone else to foot their healthcare bill - and they've confused theft with a moral play.

now, if you support the elderly (boomers as they age, including *you* and *i*) actually paying for their services (as they are the richest group of people in the nation - and the boomers will be as they age, too) and not running up yet another bill to foist onto future generations, as they have done with all their other bills, i'll support you.

is that what you are saying?

you still haven't addressed the morality of a broke and in debt (due to previous generations fiscal terrorism) 18 year old funding the health care of bill gates or the millionaire real estate agent or mortgage agent. nor, might i add, have you offered to ante up what you are asking the youth to do - put $400k into health care by the time they are 40.

it is too easy to take from others... especially the defenseless.
