My regular readers know that I'm a Gen-Xer (born 1967) who frequently looks at politics through a lens of generational politics and culture. So I think it's incumbent upon me to point out what I think is obvious but seems to be rarely, if ever, noted: entitlement reform is going to screw Gen-X royally.
Putting aside Medicaid, the other two big entitlement programs are Medicare and Social Security -- which are both, essentially, mechanisms for one generation to take care of the previous generation.
