"implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early retirement" ... corporate America already does that, and takes away their retirement healthcare benefits too in the process.
I'm no fan of Obama (I didn't vote for him nor McCain), but I don't see how he can do any worse.
And in regards to healthcare reform - the simple answer is to expand Medicare to cover people of all ages...
Won't come for free, but then the current employer paid system is becoming very costly for many employees whose employers are reducing the benefit, and for many smaller employers, dropping healthcare benefits entirely.
And anyways, as of now with no real safety net for middle class wage earners, employer sponsored health insurance essentually makes those employees indentured servants; think of the many times people bitch about how bad their job is, but stay for fear of losing their heathcare benefits.
