54% of senior have Medicare but are against socialized medicine? Hey, that's the solution! Just let that 54% voluntarily give up their Medicare and there will be plenty of money to pay for a national health plan.
: I read somewhere that 54% of Americans who are over 65 and therefore on Medicare are against Obama's national health care plan. In other words, they are already on a national health care plan and they like it so they don't want anybody else to have it.
: : Really? I bet most of the seniors who SAY they are against a national health care system are not ready to give up their national health care system (Medicare).
: : : All this crap about a national health program. Socialism! Obamas big bucks big government in your back pocket. We don't need it. And we don't need medicare either. Its the worst socialism thing this country ever did. I say work hard and save you money and you can affort whatever medicine you need. Remeber the old story about the ant and the grasshopper. The ant works hard while the lazy grasshopper lays around his whole life and then whins that the government should take care of him when he gets old. We should go back to real American values.
