They Are Lying R$R Will Just Let Medicare Die

I do not believe a word about Medicare "coupons". If ACA falls and the Medicare savings goes, then Medicare will collapse quickly. And R$R will just let it go bankrupt and do nothing. They will just stop paying for care as far as I am concerned. They feel that they can race bait enough senior to get that vote. And based on what I hear from a lot of seniors around me it may work.

I believe it is all a big con because Medicare is going to need some revenue adjustments. And Romney has already said that he will raise the age of eligibility to 67. That will be a huge change. Many seniors need care by the time they are 60. And without ACA millions more particularly seniors will have NO access. And some will actually die from treatable diseases. No insurance company will provide insurance to these people.

If we live in the kind of country that abandons seniors who created the wealth in their working years as we have the veterans, then we are not much of a nation.

I do not understand how we became so cruel, mean and sadistic as a country. The fact that R$R can come out lying and be so transparent in their nastiness toward the sick and hungry and still be in the game is way beyond me.

I remember my government teacher saying the voucher system might be a good idea, but it looks pretty aweful - like it won't cover much.
