Insight: What if baby boomers don’t live forever?

WASHINGTON, Aug 15:  What if the generation that once rocked out to The Who’s “hope I die before I get old” line actually does? Most retirement plans and federal budget projections assume baby boomers—those Americans born between 1946 and 1964 — will live significantly longer than their parents have. That is a logical assumption, given healthcare improvements, new drugs and the long 20th century experience of ever-rising life expectancies. (agencies)
