That’s right my friends, within 11 years Medicare could be broken. All that money you pay in taxes to support this program, it could all be gone, unavailible to you. What does all this imply?
According to this article the shortfall is due to increasing health care costs. It’s not because of the baby boom generation retiring. Costs just continue to go up. Whether you’re Conservative or Liberal this is an important concern. What can be done?
Conservatives will call for more privatized programs. This may or may not be the solution. For those who can afford this, they should absolutely go for it. Many in this nation are clearly well off and able to afford their own healthcare. But for others this is simply not an option.
Either way we approach this problem, something must be done and done soon. It’s time for all sides to quit wrestling with each other and instead it’s time they wrestle with the issues and find a solution.
