Some thoughts & ideas right here:

I think people will have to come to the realization that they are simply not going to receive adequate medical care. It doesn't have to be hard cuts/denial of service either.

It an be as simple & indirect as being forced to wait 6+ mos (until it's too late and you're already gone), to making the paperwork mountain, or search for remaining care givers under a certain programs, so impossible as to encourage one to simply give up.

So, besides the opportunities in health care boot camps and/or Soma "rest stations", I think there's gonna be some interesting opportunities in 'pay for access'. That is, pay some eager-beavers to spend the countless hours phoning, waiting on hold, scheduling and filling out paperwork for the poor suckers that actually need care.

Actually, in a weird way, it's sort of like Alinsky coming full circle. He gets a bad rap here - for obvious reasons - but that guy was certainly a genius in designing effective campaign/protests to get what he & his grievance group(s) wanted.

Whatever remaining power, via votes and/or their life savings, boomers have to offer to politicians for maybe a few more years of living, can perhaps be channeled by effective organization to achieve at least some dignity during their final years.

I know the natural tendency for conservatives is to suck it up, tough it out and/or go their own way, but at some point one has to recognize defeat and figure out a way to maybe, just maybe, make it through the bottleneck by whatever means possible.
