From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will discuss the problems with MediCare...in 1965 eligibility age was 65; in 2008 it is 65. The average lifespan at age 65 in 1965 was 4 years; in 2008, 20 years! In 1965 there were 10.1 taxpayers paying for one MediCare beneficiary; in 2008 there is 3.1. The number of Medicare beneficiaries in 1965 were less than 10 million; in 2008, 44 million---how WOULD YOU you change this?
Cancel the program? Raise the beneficiary age to 70, 80? Raise the Medicare tax? Set an income level for beneficiaries? Tell people to go to Canada? Lock up your office and go home? Join the French Foreign Legion? Decide to kick-off at a younger age by making every Saturday night new years eve?
Should be fun.
PS: I just paid my dues--are your dues dued? We don't want to lose you.
