The obvious hoped for answer to the question of who will be the future victims of health care reform is no one. But any time a country changes a system as complex as the current US health care delivery system, some one has to get less. Win-win may be the goal but it will take some even more complex thinking to actually see that in the future.

But to lower the enrollment age to 55 -- especially at the expense of the public option -- would likely hurt our medical care system more than it helps it.
