>It is no coincidence that universal health care is being pushed right around the time the Baby Boomers are retiring.

Huh? Yes it is. It's been pushed under every single Democratic administration since Truman, with the exceptions of Carter and (I think) Kennedy. It came close to passing under Truman and Clinton. We just have another Democrat in power now, and we also have a major health care cost crisis going on right now under the current system. Premiums are skyrocketing! The director of another organization I deal with told me that his organization's premiums are going up 30% this year! After 20% last year and an average of 18% the past few years. It's unsustainable, and it's time.

Besides, that's counter logical. If anything, universal health care would be less of an issue because of the boomers retiring -- they're going to be covered under Medicare. They have their universal health care!
