The question is "who" is going to pay for the health care. If you get
seriously ill when you are working, most likely it's your employer and
your group insurance that will foot a lot of the care. On the other
hand, if you are older when you get sick, and let's face it we ALL get
sick and die of something), then it is likely that Medicare (the
govt.) will pay a larger portion of the bill, as health care is now
set up. There are other factors though. If the govt would decide to
provide some level of universal health care and that health care
provided fewer benefits than the work's group insurance, then there
might not be a higher total bill if you live longer. For example,
there are lots of way to treat cancer. Most likely, if the govt
provides universal care, they will simply not allow bone marrow
transplants and any heroic measures. You are getting a level of care
afterall if you have terminal cancer, but are provided (only)
palliative treatment, vs. the scads of testing and more experimental
treatment that some presently allows.

It does appear that as people live longer, those chronic diseases will
kick in. Presently, it can be very expensive to treat diabetes, heart
disease, etc. for a longer period. Now if there is a high co-payment
in any plan, it will be the individual that pays a larger portion of
the total bill. My guess is that we will wind up with a balance of
govt. private and individual payment that pleases nobody, which is
pretty much where we already are. I agree it can be a lot more fair
and better than it is now, but assume the govt will as usual, make
things worse for me personally in the next few years. dkw
