Sorry, my math was off in the final point in yesterday's post. Those who would be on notice that their health care is fully their own responsibility even in late old age would now be 45, not 40...still plenty of time.
Further, I should have added a point in the opening comments about why I'm not optimistic about a solution in the current political climate. My pessimism stems in part from the President's failure to exert a level of genuine leadership above the rancor of Democrats versus Republicans. Whether from his own instincts, or from some puzzling electoral calculus, President Obama's behavior is much more like chief Democratic cheerleader than as our head of state. When you think back to his election night triumph when he said that "there are no red states, there are no blue states, there are only the United States of America", you can now only sigh at the failure to live up to that promise.
