I hate to keep banging out the same tune on my drum, but the only REAL solution lies in reducing the NEED/DEMAND for so much healthcare. If we continue to keep getting fatter, lazier, and less responsible for our own lifestyles we will keep getting sicker and more in need of expensive healthcare. If we, The Boomers, don't get our acts together and work on lifestyle improvements while we are still able to reverse trends, we may deserve the fate of facing declining care options when gens X,Y, and Z get tired of paying for our self inflicted sins.
