Be very careful old people - if the government has control of your health care system, medical records ... when you go to your private doctor and confess to drug use before he does a blood test or surgery, and that is written in his report, perhaps included in that form he checks to do billing, all these details go to one central clearinghouse for medical records and all those details are accessible by insurance companies and eventually by the national health care system, which would, report you in an attempt to get you help for your drug use in order to lower the drug usage in this country. And at that time - ha ha ... you can't roll it back.

Baby boomers still getting high, agency says
Wed Aug 19, 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Baby boomers, now well into middle age, are still turning on to illegal drugs, doubling the rates of illicit drug use for the older generation, according to U.S. government statistics released on Wednesday.
The rates of people aged 50 to 59 who admit to using illicit drugs in the past year nearly doubled from 5.1 percent in 2002 to 9.4 percent in 2007 while rates among all other age groups are the same or decreasing, the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported.
"These findings show that many in the Woodstock generation continue to use illicit drugs as they age," SAMHSA Acting Administrator Eric Broderick said in a statement.
"This continued use poses medical risks to these individuals and is likely to put further strains on the nation's health care system -- highlighting the value of preventing drug use from ever starting."
Baby boomers are the post World War II generation born between 1945 and 1960.
The data used in the study came from various surveys including 16,656 men and women participating in the 2002 through 2007 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health.
