That’s about right Paul.

We need some kind of pooling of risk to get healthy people into the system, for damn sure we need tort reform, not sure what else can help. This is the downside of increased life expectancy, combined with the demographic effect of the baby boomers. We will have huge numbers if old people, who can live into their late 90s but will need care and expensive drugs. Going to be a massive problem, no easy solution.
