Default Re: Medicare: Go Ahead and Smoke...

raise the retirement age. you have to do it. you cannot sustain social security and medicare if people are retiring too early. it would be possible with smaller population, and more specifically low or zero population growth, which exists in some european countries. but since each generation is greater than the last, the retiree population is simply growing too fast.
