Sadly, that's specifically what was volunteered for in exchange for the promise of an entitlement life at somewhere around forty-two where the rest of us have to pay forty years worth of homage to an individual who -- for at least four generations -- did nothing to make us safer, anyway.

But hey, that's just me.

That said, I do get the relevance of the above statement to the ACA: lots of folks are crying the same thing related to being "forced" to pay. Key difference? Everyone is paying based upon their humanity as opposed to a few volunteering, whining about it, than expecting lifelong compensation.

It's all an ugly business.
