There is no way, no way, to fix health care in this nation until at least 60% of the population can face reality.
We want all people to be taken care of.
Great.
Who’s going to do that?
Who’s going to pay for that?
Because if the money for doing that isn’t just sitting around somewhere, then we are going to have to institute slavery to force people to do it.
Sorry.
That’s the truth of it.
Maybe we can all smoke some weed and not face reality.
That will help.
The demographics are against us and there's nothing that any politician can do about it. There's just too many Baby Boomers turning 70 who need massive amounts of health care and not enough young, healthy people to foot the bill. Oh, and all these Baby Boomers vote, too.
Here's what I predict is going to happen: If you are young and healthy, you get health care. If you are young and sickly, you get health care too. Thank the healthy people. If you are over 65, you get palliative care. You had a good run. If you can afford it, feel free to fly to Thailand or India for medical procedures but you're on your own.
