Americans would opt out, and the die off in later years will be huge, expensive, and horrifying.

That's the price of real freedom, the kind guaranteed by the proper and strict constructionalist view of the Constitution: some people may make the wrong choices, and they alone should pay the price for that.
I don't care if it's not planning for retirement, having too many cheeseburgers, or having unprotected relations with the wrong people -- if you did it, you own it. I have the freedom and the right not to be burdened for someone else's bad judgement. That's what freedom is.
The nanny state and all its ilk should never have gotten as far as it has, and it should be dismantled piece-by-piece and immediately.
