This screams of the same youth that say they don't need to pay for health insurance because they're healthy. You really think you know what the future is going to bring?

I have health insurance. I pay for it with my money so that my money that I worked hard for can take care of me when I need it. I do not expect anyone else to move mountains to "take care" of me when I'm older. I'm not putting that burden on anyone else; when it comes to the point where it's a very real possibility that I'll need someone else's assistance to survive I'll just end it and be done with it.

no sane adult expects their kids to pick up the slack

And yet here you are, expecting exactly that and superciliously judging us for thinking different.
