yes. I know it isn't fair, but we are stuck with this Medicare monster at least in my lifetime and we have to figure out a way to pay for it. The only other way will be to increase taxes on those who are working now and paying the medicare tax. Given the fact that there are fewer and fewer workers per medicare recipient as the baby boomers age, there would be devastating effects on the economy to keep upping the medicare tax.
Anyone else have any better ideas for how we are going to be able to pay for the baby boomers medical care?
