Even the people writing the stories don't know what the problem is.
What will happen if we keep on our current course? Why, there'll be a disaster. What kind of disaster? Why, an economic one. What will happen? Weren't you listening, boy, I said "a disaster."
Social Security is solvent for the next hundred years or so. And it could be made infinitely solvent by raising the age at which you can start collecting benefits by 2 years. So let's just take SS out of the picture.
Medicare is doom-ed. Because the insurance industry will continue to rape the public on health care costs. The solution to the Medicare problem is to put an end to health care for profit. We need a generation of political leaders who will take this issue by the throat and shake.
Are we going to continue to have the most expensive, Third World medical care system in the world? Sure we will until the peasants have had enough and decide to let blood run in the streets.
