Medicare Trustee Confirms: Absent Action, Program "As We Know It" Ends in 2024

2011-06-22

Roskam: In fact, Medicare as we know it will end in 2024, absent some change in policy, or some change in moving forward. That's right, isn't it?

Blahous: Yes.
Video at link. And yet the dhimocrats continue to say everything is aok.
Always humorous: the Democrats say that it's the Republicans who want to end Medicare, yet their own (in)action guarantees that Medicare will go under. Of course, should the Democrats regain control of the Congress their 'fix' will be to jack Medicare taxes. They'll do it at the same time they jack Obamacare taxes. Count on it.

#4 #2 I guess it depends on your definition preferable. A two year for a knee replacement followed by a 6 month wait to get you off the opiates isn't my definition of 'better off'.

#3 ...except those who can will travel to get care that is denied for 'equality' politics here just as they do in other countries.

#2 As I have said before, rationed health care is much better than none at all.

#1 Medical care, whether Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, or cash, is flat-out unsustainable on its current path. Everyone cannot have everything, and still leave funds (and motive) for further advances. We have to make choices - but by we I mean individuals, not government or insurance bureaucrats. When I pay by cash I already make value judgements - and it does bother me that others feel it is perfectly fine to take my money (by taxes) so they don't have to make the same choices.
