2 thoughts on “Gen Xers are getting more joint replacements

  1. Of course GenX is getting joint replacements; the oldest Xers are almost retirement age and might want to get the work done before they have to go on Medicare. (GenX cohort is now 45-60, birth years 1965-1980).

    But the headline is a little misleading; the woman (Ms. Lux) featured in the story is not an Xer. She’s 65…a Boomer born in 1959/60.

    1. I waited until I had Medicare because a $180 Part B deductible is a lot cheaper than my pre-Medicare $6000 deductible and $10,000 out-of-pocket max. Saw the surgeon 2 days after Medicare started, and got on the schedule.
