#2 You see the aging elder population problem and all the fiscal collapse they will bring will be solved by Universal Health Care(tm) as it will be rationed for those over 65 sufficiently enough to start the big drop in life expectancy and with it the grand entitlement expenses [usual ~~liberal~~ inner party suspects exempted of course]. With Universal Health Care(tm) the Health Care Crisis(tm) will magically disappear down the memory hole* of our MSM with life expectancy as quickly disappearing from official government statistics.

#3 That's probably not satire, Pro2k., and it is indeed likely to show up here soon. Britain has for a long time rationed care such as hemodialysis, major surgery etc. based on age. Those who want us to emulate the NHS will no doubt adopt similar policies.

#4 I recall that for the average person 2/3 of all medical expenses are incurred in the last 2 years of life. The deal has been that we're prepared to spend that money for the last two years of the lives of the Greatest Generation, so many of whom only got to live the first 20 in the Great Depression and WWII. Some how I would not be surprised if that deal were revised for the Boomers who lost our first war and lived it up for the next 40 years.
