<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is someone advocating a single payer national retirement / healthcare plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The basis of the argument is that healthcare and retirements are fundamental human rights. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><a href="http://www.upte.org/lp/health/singlepayer.pdf"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.upte.org/lp/health/singlepayer.pdf</span></span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think that is where we are heading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This rising pension funding problem, including SS and RRR, is just the tip of the iceberg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I expect the government to nationalize everyone’s 401K and roll them into a remodeled SS system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">SS will become the “single payer” pension plan, and everyone will be treated fair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more big juicy pensions for some, but not all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need a national pension system that is sustainable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will happen within the next 2-3 years, and when it does, the national retirement plan will indeed be an entitlement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, there will be no direct connection between a participant's contribution and their benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
