| #4 I recall that for the average person 2/3 of all medical expenses are incurred in the last 2 years of life. The deal has been that we're prepared to spend that money for the last two years of the lives of the Greatest Generation, so many of whom only got to live the first 20 in the Great Depression and WWII. Some how I would not be surprised if that deal were revised for the Boomers who lost our first war and lived it up for the next 40 years. |
