It does not matter if you have FAITH and BELIEVE in the GOD; you will survive as Senior or young person in the USA.

And how do you think any thing is going to be any different with Candy-man Care? The elderly have social health care as we speak, Medicare to name one.

Senior citizens in America have better health care than the average person with private insurance. They have medicare. Medicare is inexpensive, it never denies care, it doesn’t ration care, and it never cancels anyone who needs expensive care.
I am a senior and I will sign up for medicare in two years. I will breath a sigh of relief when I do. I will no longer be at the mercy of the private insurance market. I will have government backed insurance, thank God.
Sure old people die every day. But with medicare we know we will get the care we need at the end of life.
Private insurance companies cancel people when they get expensive.
Ask your doctor about Medicare and private insurance.
There is a reason why doctors want health care reform. They are tired of fighting insurance companies to get the care their patients need.

A lot of senior citizens have health care in the United States. Nobody is going to take it away from them. If you are referring to Obama’s health care reform, it will cover senior citizens who do not have any health care. Young people are concerned now because one day, they will become senior citizens too and they probably have family members who are now seniors.

The U.S. government is run by the powerful corporations that don’t have much interest in poor people, especially not in poor old, sick, disabled, or minority people.
At least a true national health care system created in the U.S. would be of major assistance to all people - especially the ageing and disabled. But unlike the rest of the developed western nations, the powers that be have brainwashed and convinced a huge portion of Americans that anything you share with others, and brings you on the same level with others in terms of deserving the same without regard to how much money you make, is SOCIALIST and therefor EVIL.
I’d say the U.S. system has done even better a job at propagandizing and brainwashing generations of their citizenry than the Russians / former Soviets did. I’m amazed at the lies, mythology, and fear the average American buys into as put forth to us by our corporatist government.
Back to your question. Seniors who don’t have a great deal of money and savings are going to be in a bad situation - well, an even worse situation than they are now, which is bad. I am a baby boomer fast approaching senior status. If our leadership, as it stands, is not able to put together some kind of emergency program to help seniors with the special needs they have in their healthy AND health-compromised years, I suppose there will be more senior ghettos like the one near me where I live. Our quality of life, if not our life expectancy, wil certainly take a fall if public policy doesn’t change.
How about vegetarian hippie communes for seniors? (I think I could dig it!) Seriously, it’s very difficult for older people to share housing on their own as singles, because one of the psycho-social truths of older people is that they find continual change and Challenge to be extremely stressful and psychologically disruptive. The brain is, in general, just not the spontaneous and adaptable thing it is when we are young. (Otherwise known as being set in ones ways.) It does have a biological basis, and any young people reading this should know they will some day be set in their ways, too.
