The GAO’s findings underscore the need to shore up Social Security and make changes to the retirement system to more Americans save, Whitehouse and Sanders said in their statement.
That could be one interpretation.
Alternately, we could raise the Medicare entitlement age by… 5, maybe 10 years, only for those not already enrolled (but hey, we can go retroactive too, why not). After 10 years we can revert the age back down.
I suspect the problem (the incredibly unhealthy problem that requires everyone else to take care of their needs because they’re special and were at woodstock and you weren’t) would take care of itself.
I mean, if there’s one thing Boomers hate more than anything, it’s socialized medicine, so we’re doing them a favor, really.
