I am 62 and working. I will have to work for a long time before I can retire. My group health insurance goes by my age. Each year it goes up and not just a small amount. At 64, I can be paying almost half my weekly income after taxes.
Why shouldn't young people have to pay for health insurance and contribute to the aging. Please remember that your grandparents and aging parents worked all their lives and now when they are aging, they should not cost any more due to health conditions.
Other countries honor the aging. Many in this country would like them to just go away or die. We tried to save for retirement and some of partners go sick and we spent everything we had. All we had in retirement funds was taken away due to a greedy world. I never want to be a burden to my family and hope I don't live until I am to sick to care for myself. Shame on those who think like that.

Generational Warfare
Aging Boomer's ,the Pepsi/Woodstock Generation so desperate to stay young & the equally banal ballast they produced- The"Millenials" drive the self serving legislation . The ones left out of the equation are their Parents & Grands , our Greatest Generation.There will never be any to come close to their contribution.
