In this future, somebody will need to stand for the principle that Medicare can’t pay every bill and bless every procedure. Somebody will need to defend the younger generation’s promise (and its pocketbooks). Somebody will need to say “no” to retirees.Keep it up, sonny. You can become a martyr like some of your Catholic heroes. Wait about 20 yrs. & see what happens when this prediction has borne some bitter fruit. (Be ready for these fucks to attempt to disenfranchise those of us using Medicare.)That’s supposed to be the Republicans’ job. They should stick to doing it.
As the population ages — by 2030, there will be more Americans over 65 than under 18 — the power of the elderly and nearly elderly may become almost absolute.Not too consistent w/ Douthat's respect for the past & tradition & hierarchy & the inevitably ancient Pope, is it? Just wait until we, the (soon-to-be) elderly get our Death Panels. We don't think panelists will find Ross to be very "productive," unless he gets a healthcare gig.
P.S.: How many bands named "Death Panel" are there at this moment? Five? Thirty? C'mon, there must be at least a couple by now in all the United Snakes & Canada.
