Freeper: Medicare ruins the moral fabric of society---causes tyranny
it it late and I don't have time to write much. First and foremost Medicare and most other government programs are wholly unconstitutional. Second, all the money the government spends (opps, wastes) on social programs accomplish little good and damage the very core of a moral and free society. The hard working citizens of this great Republic, if given back the dollars wasted by the parasite class of DC and the state capitols, would spend the money more wisely and help those in need more compassionately that ANY government bureaucrat. It is an absolute insult to the concept of Liberty and responsibility to believe in any way, "if the government doesn't do it, it wont get done." Last, do you realize that with most social programs over 70% of the money is absorbed by petty bureaucrats who's main purpose is to create useless rules and harass the innocent. The RINOs in Congress are betraying the very foundations of this great Republic. They should be shamed and run out of town.

4. I didn't realize helping the poor was so tyrannical
I always thought jailing people without due process, spying on people without probable cause---the Patriot Act in general was more tyrannical than Medicare

2. This post was written by someone who either
has good insurance or has never been sick & so is unaware of medical costs. Also this person does not like his/her grandparents! That's my guess.

3. Their idea of morality is letting the poor suffer and die
Karma would be seeing some of these folks end up in this condition.

5. Yeah, that whole "promote the general welfare" bit was just a ruse
They didn't really mean it.

6. I wonder if they are willing to let someone live in their spare mansion
Someone less fortunate then they are.
Let's see what would happen if we did not take care of the poor and the sick?
These people are completely lost in their give me mine mentality they forget the compassionate values they claim to have.

7. "over 70% of the money is absorbed by petty bureaucrats" makes up "facts"
sort as defines the poster as GOP - but I expect mainstream media to pick up on that post - as in the Fox liars will be using that line.

12. I wonder who the "hard working citizens" are that he refers to?
You know, the ones who will help those in need more "compassionately".
Doubt it would be this guy. Fact is, government started 'doing it' because it wasn't 'getting done'.
