Warning to Boomers: Difficult Questions Ahead
I wondering if anyone watched this two-hour Public Broadcasting Corporation documentary last night at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), titled "The Boomer Century: 1946-2046." It's referenced in this rather depressing article. Once again it is the unknown boomer's healthcare in retirement. Not only do we need to be worried about it for ourselves, but now we have to be concerned about how it will impact our country - possibly to the point of bankruptcy Anyway, I'm curious how the 2-hour special treated this subject.

Thanks JDW for directing me to the discussion thread. Sounds like it hit a nerve with quite a few people.
