"Most taxes are paid by people in the same demographic group that carries the high actuarial risk." True, and not a problem. Then don't bother. Any move to governmentalize a system that is functioning for no appreciable gain is a bad move. It incurs the additional cost of unaccountable bureaucrats, not to mention the 40% government inefficiency overhead. ---------------------------------------------------------- "All that is accomplished is shifting the decision making to unaccountable bureaucrats some of whom will abuse their power for personal reasons. That is a lose / lose proposition." Changing the subject. I see you don't like to address the actual problems with your ideas. ---------------------------------------------------------- "That is a whole different issue involving ethics and a lot more." Your response did not address the issue in any way. I prefer not to get into the ethics of genetics and you did not address it.
