This is the future, I’m afraid, unless we do something about it.

Having older people unable to drive also cuts down pollution, a lib twofer - they don’t go to work and pay taxes, therefore, not worth it.

We could wind up with a health care system MUCH worse than Soviet Russia. he Soviets actually had some good ideas, like entire hospitals dedicated to doing only one kind of thing, for example, heart surgery. Even if the doctors stank, eventually they would get good at it.

They also invented RK (radial keratonomy(sp)? as a cost-saving measure (no glasses!).

Nah. Any savings on driving pollution will be negated as the younger, friskier people sit helplessly in their idling cars waiting for us older folks to shuffle our slow, deliberate way across the road.

One of the med-techs who works with my opthamological surgeon worked in a Russian eye center ~ they were about 20 years ahead of the rest of the world ~ now they work here and they're still 20 years ahead.

Interesting guy.
