one of the questions about this idealized “universal healthcare” is how will we deal with the baby boomer generation, which has already started to retire and are also beginning their journey of chronic diseases. how do we pay for every single medication, treatment plan, surgery, hospitalization costs, etc for all 23 million of them? 

it’s my generation that has to figure that out because that’s our money, that is going to be our debt to pay. it’s not that they don’t deserve it; many of them have worked for it.  it’s just this system is so whack. it doesn’t make any sense how we can even begin to pay for this.
