For years and years the right has been rallying that seniors hate medicare and we need to do away with it. Now during this debate we hear how much in fact seniors love and rely on medicare! Now the right is exploiting that fact! Get the fact straight, medicare is a form of socialized medicine. But the right and insurance companies rally the elderly by stating Obama will take away your medicare with socialized medicine. You know those death panels that don't exist and won't exist, they'll kill you!
Come again! Saying no to socialized medicine, because of a medicare (a socialized medicine program) would go away and people love it! Amaziing the logic in this thinking!
I wouldn't say they love Medicare. They tolerate it because that is the system that is in place. Most usually have supplemental care.
Ask and old person! Listen to the old people at townhall meetings. My grandfather would be in the ground without medicare!
Yes they have supplemental care to cover the shortfall. However, if they didn't have medicare they would have to get primary insurance, which would probably cost a small sum of $5K a month with a backlog of preexisting conditions!
But you don't see the irony in that a huge voice in the town hall protesters are the old crying about losing their socialized medicine (medicare) by arguing against having social medicine?
Medicare infringes on the right of workers to control their retirement savings and on the freedom of seniors to control their own health care. Period. It has done enormous damage to the US health care sector and to individual liberty. Period. And that damage will only increase over time. Period.
