Do you understand that prior to Obamacare, Medicare was optional to join if you weren't claiming social security benefits like some Boomers who are deferring it until age 70? Many people had private insurance. Remember when Obama said "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor? If you like your plan, you can keep your plan?"

So don't blame Boomers for the state of health care today. Blame your generation who was conned into "hope and change." I wanted to keep my plan but was forced into Medicare by Obama's "fundamental transformation of America."

I understand what you lost. I also understand that the young were taken advantage of by their general ignorance. Consequences don’t care about whether the person in question did it out of ignorance. It will still end badly.

I’m not blaming boomers for healthcare, but the advance of socialism over all. It will end badly for America and every other country that went down this road.

I don’t think we will reverse course, because nobody likes to be cut loose once they are on social benefits of some kind.
