How many bills have been rushed through the congress and not read and
debated before being voted on this year alone? Getting the system in place is
what's imperative. Once it becomes law and the baby boomers are under it's
care, your councilors will be able to start gently nudging you in the direction
of not expecting much from the system,especially if the economy is burdened.
I'm not saying it is going to be done immediately, maybe not even in my life
time. But the system will be in place. <How many societies have abandoned their
elderly when they have become a burden? Native Americans, who *lived in harmony
with Nature* were notorious for this.
P.S. rationing will, most likely, never be advocated, it will just become a
reality.

Indeed. Mike might want to ask himself what the
current and soon-to-be proportion of seniors is
among the voters, and what kind of support anyone
who advocated rationing seniors' health care
would get at the polls.
Then he should ask himself how likely his scenario
is to become the reality any time in the
foreseeable future.
