He isn't trying to work to the final goal right now. He sees a process where more and more people are included in a Medicare like system, over time. Quite honestly, I think that's probably going to have to be the way it happens so that the system is given time to "adjust". I was thinking once that the quickest way to this was to start with the 18 year olds. Every 5 years or so you increase the age limit until it become obvious where it is all going.
