I hope all you young healthy people who don't need health insurance enjoy paying for the health care of we older folks. I'm 15 years away from Medicare, so how convenient that you're going to be forced to pay for my cancer follow-ups soon. Of course, we baby boomers will bleed the country dry over the next two decades and by the time you need it, it will be impossible for you to get great care.
