Seniors have been getting glossy mailings explaining how Obama is destroying their medicare. They have been getting these in swing states since the day after Obama took office. It's going to take a lot to convince them that they have been wrong about this all this time.

Republican husband in Florida. First of all, he IS future Medicare (2 years). They would LOVE to end Medicare, and Social Security, for PRESENT Seniors, let alone near retires, and only 55's.

See that is the problem. Not going to affect ME.
