Most of the fifty five year olds I know are either out of work, working part time, and/or barely holding on to a job they have held for years.

So technically it does count as cost control. The fifty somethings who own their own homes are screwed, because the only way they can get County paid MedeCal (in this state) is to offer up their house as collateral.

SO yes I gues it is Cost Control - just like throwing a few dozen sand bags in the Mississippi after Katrina counted as flood control. Doesn't help anyone at all, but the President is sure able now to run to his Big Benefactors and say, "See Mr Big Insurer, I kept my pledge to you. Now make that check out to Barack Obama, so I can run again in 2012."
