Medical Budgets and Boomers

Economist Kevin Milligan discusses how younger taxpayers are footing the bill for boomers' ballooning medical needs. How can we pay for medical care in a way that's more fair for all generations?

"Whatever problems we have now, they're just growing tremendously... Economists, social scientists, academics, regular folks out there -- they kind of know that the population is aging, but I don't think they know how much that's going to matter over the next 10 years." 

Kevin Milligan, UBC Vancouver School of Economics
