CHICAGO - A new report published this week paints a dreary picture of the future of millennials’ health and healthcare costs over the next decade, predicting a reduced annual income and a higher death rate, based on current trends.
The 32-page report, published by Blue Cross Blue Shield, illustrates the impact millennials’ health could have on their future prosperity, and in turn, have a “crippling effect” on the U.S. economy.

“We aborted 70,000,000 of their contemporaries.”
How would you like 70,000,000 more of them about now?
Well,... there is that...
Sorry Millennials, but you need to get your house in order.
If 70,000,000 LEGAL citizens meant preventing an influx of cheap labor, outsourcing, an intact family unit, sustaining values that made this country excel, healthy tax base, and focus on future endeavors then I would take that.
Huge part of the erosion of the western portion of the Roman Empire were due to citizens’ low birth rates. They had to import labor, to sustain a welfare State.
It’s the attitude that made me say that.
Can’t blame mom and dad for the demand for safe rooms.
Can’t blame mom and dad because you and your friends are carrying 4’ clubs to Conservative events
Can’t blame mom and dad for rioting and breaking storefronts
Can’t blame mom and dad for make demands that would make a con artist from the 70s blush.
Can’t blame mom and dad for knocking hats off Trump supporters and beating them, simply because they are outnumbered 30 to 1.
You are much worse than they are.
So be it.
Well if the Millennials vote in socialized healthcare, they will definitely die younger.
Who raised those entitled brats, set the economic and social conditions, as well as drove up debt along with costs for them to navigate through?
Medicare (Those who paid in have not even come close to the compound interest accrued) and Medicaid (Already expanded to a quasi-socialist program) were passed in 1966, what is your point? Its already a done deal.
Do you know what a new Dodge Challenger cost when I was in high school?
How about a Ford Mustang?
The Dodge was about $3,500. The Mustang was about $2,500 to $3,000.
Sorry, I’m not buying what you’re selling.
My parents bought their new home in 1978. $79,000 > today it’s worth $1.25 million.
That’s how inflation works.
I’m tired of hearing the soy boy blues.
Ignorant, debt ridden and drugged out is a short brutish life style.
I see lots, but not all, moronial couples walking past my house...girl in front setting the pace...guy walking 2 paces behind in slack style...sometimes walking the dog...no hugging...no contact..he is not talking...he behaves as if he is probably a “gofer” and the DSD in her life..
I started off by mentioning some things these kids are doing that have nothing to do with money.
They literally hate our nation. Name one nation those kids can go, that is better. Nobody had to take me aside and tell me this sort of stuff.
They are died in the wool fascists. That was going around in my generation too. I saw right through it. There was no way I was going to trash my nation. I realized what a communist nation was, how different from ours it was.
Lets talk about income for a minute.
Do your realize that if you earn $15.00 and hour, that works out to over $30k per year? Do you realize that starting out, we all had to scrape and save to pay our bills.
It really isn’t that much different today. You get two people together who make no more than $15 and hour, and you’ve got a household income of $60k. Is that a great amount of money? Not really, but as you get experience, perhaps more income too, pretty soon your making $80k income in your home.
Listen, my uncle, my father, and I myself have worked two jobs at times to make ends meet. It wasn’t easy on us.
It seems to me you think this generation is being treated very unfairly. No it isn’t.
As for politicians in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, sure we had some flakes. We do today. There were always flakes.
If people were making more money these days, the cost of everything would rise. How would that work for the millenials? It wouldn’t.
We have one of the best jobs markets we’ve had in the last thirty years right now. There are more jobs than applicants.
It wasn’t like that when I started working, let me tell ya.
I’ve never owned my own home. I’ve never had the most expensive car. I’ve never lived in the most expensive apartment. I’ve never had a lot of money to burn.
I still have it better than others. I also have it worse than others. I’m certainly not blaming my plight on others.
If I wanted more, I could go out and earn more.
Kids today are convinced that complaining is justified. It will wind up getting them nowhere.
Earn less because they partner with the economy killing rat party, die earlier because they have free universal healthcare, its a human right!
No surprise here. This is a generation comprised of a disproportionate number of useless nitwits who have been conditioned to accept a lifetime of mediocrity.
Today’s purchasing power is a lot less than 40 years ago, you keep ignoring that.
For instance, my daughters tuition is over 1100% than what I had to deal with. I worked while paying off the tuition in real time. A college student today can not do that. They have to take on tremendous debt just to pay tuition, never mind rent and other expenses to survive.
How many jobs pay $80,000 a year, no college or experience. That is the equivalent of what a college student needs without going into debt.
I lived in an apartment in the 1980s, and graduated from college with hardly any debt. Got a better job and went to graduate school. Did not have immigration, outsourcing, and a lot of other factors young adults have to deal with today. When my daughter gets out of medical school, debts will be astronomic. That was not the case 40 or even 30 years ago.
You cherry pick attitudes, however, read the OP’s article. It’s about economics, not a percentage of entitled brats. The reaction is the result of earlier voting patterns by previous generations. The snowball affect is no joke, we reap what we sow based on our reliance on big government.
