The medical thing will resolve itself. The business model to handle it hasn't emerged yet. No manner of price jiggering is gonna add capacity to the medical system, so alternatives will be found.

Medicare will be a second-tier service. That's nearly inevitable. But nobody will do anything about this until they have to.

And frankly, longevity of Baby Boomers doesn't seem as likely to work out as it did for the WWII and Silent Generations.

I agree wholeheartedly about "mismanaged the finances" but this is the world we live in.
