Reply #54: Then it's not all that different

from Kucinich's except with Kucinich's we demand single-payer up front and fight for it.

The implementation plan he had up at one time showed a gradual phase in process beginning with infants up to 7 years old, I think(might have been 9 but as I recall it was single-digit age), and the elderly beginning with age 85, I think, in the first phase. (going totally off memory here since they see to have removed the implementation plan for some reason).

I believe each phase takes affect bi-annually, every other year a new group is added to each end of the age gap until they meet in the middle, insuring every citizen in the country. Seems to me the only difference is when the decision to go universal is made according to your description, plus we'd have to hope that there are enough 26 yr. olds screaming for it all at the same time. Call me kooky but I don't envision that happening.
