In 3 years without "Medicare for all" the number will hit $100 trillion. The print media suggests that President Obama's universal coverage will cost only $1 1/2 trillion. The truth is there is not enough money in the world for U.S. Socialized Medicine without rationing. If you are planning on Medicare for 30 years of retirement health care I hope you are saving in a tax free HSA now because you are going to need it as Medicare cuts future benefits and raises premiums. Money that is never taxed will last longer in retirement. Medicare has $89 trillion of unfunded liabilities. In 3 years without “Medicare for all” the number will hit $100 trillion.
