But we can meet these challenges. I have grown children--32, 28, and 25. They may be about to age into the next year, and they wonder if they will even receive Medicare when it comes time to retire. That retirement for them will come sooner than they think, though it seems like forever. But they do not believe--that generation doesn't believe--Medicare will be there for them. If we tackle this problem, Medicare can be there for the next generation. It should be there for the next generation.
