Can you imagine what I node's health care premiums would be at age 85 ,,, without medicare??

You continue to try to remove medicare from the equation while leaving everything else intact. But, had there been no medicare, everything else would not have stayed the same. It's like you're saying that, if the car had not been invented, the length of the commute from the suburbs would be prohibitive so no one could live there. This fails to consider that, had the car not be invented, there would be no suburbs. Everyone working downtown would be living in the city. The same is true of medicare. Had it never existed, most people would have been able to afford health care because health care costs would not have become so inflated.
