It is very odd situation not only in US but also everywhere in the world. The people who have been heroes one time, are left to themselves. The insurance companies have age limits and it becomes difficult for seniors to get the appropriate health insurance plans. The insurance companies are not interested in old population because health risks are more. The European countries view it differently. If someone has crossed the retirement age and he is health, he is considered fit for having the health insurance in Italy. The cost of insurance is same for him and young person. Many health insurance companies plainly deny the insurance policies to the seniors. The government employees and the people who have served country, need the support when they turn old. The government does little and sometimes turns blind eye to these companies. Many countries do not have regulatory systems in place which can enforce the rules on these companies. Companies must be made responsible for offering the health insurance to seniors at lower cost.
