Then it turns out that you were paying $3/month to medicare because you were making shit income for 40 years
and 3 * 12 * 40 = $1440 over your working span
and using our compound interest formula and inflation calculator (assuming 2%)
That comes out your medicare reward should be about $34560
oh wait
that's what you should be getting
but your current medical bill is actually MORE THAN THAT
and since medicare promises to cover you as a senior
well fuck it you'er gonna get more than what you should have been getting
and then we start the unfunded liability crisis
having to borrow money from our budget to pay for your healthcare
it's not lik the government are incompetent
they just don't have 200 IQ to estimate this in their head
That’s what computers are for
it's not like the computers do it automatically
humans have to enter it in
Yes and they know to so...
tl;dr: we're not fucked yet đŸ˜‰ @Deleted User
But when the times come that a majority of our population are seniors
we'll be japan
If that time comes, we might replicate how Japan tries to solve their aging crisis right now in 2019
Ah and half the country will know what its like to be disabled
not at all
People at 65 if you lived a healthy life
aren't disabled yet
Japan is having a problem with the aging crisis is due to a low fertility rate
True... but getting old normally has long periods of disability
and longer life expectancy
People aren't making enough kids or importing enough people to pay for their social programs
And since your seniors are getting older and older, their health will require more care and $$$
And since you said they were entitled to them
you cant back out of it without committing political suicide
Oh i wish I could have had a long healthy life but yeah having sight problems from like two weeks after I was born screwed that up
Ironically
Myopia can be cleared
with old age
That would be greater that’s what I have
because you develop hyperopia instead
But it’s not
oh
