I don't think it's going to go away but it's definitely taking a huge hit because boomers aren't dying fast enough. And it shouldn't be a safety net for people that make a certain amount of money. I for one can tell you my father should not be on it whatsoever. He's got plenty of money in the bank and enough to have a very lavish lifestyle compared to someone who would actually need it. But then it goes to the point should he pay for it then throughout his career and that's a good question, probably not.
