I'm a senior with Medicare Part A and disagree with most of my peers. Medicare Part A should be the only part there is. It's the insurance we paid into the system for. It was designed so seniors would not be impoverished by a hospital visit.

Medicare Part B and Part D, the pharmaceutical program, should not be part of the federal program. They should be private sector insurance.

It was GWB who force-fed us Medicare Part D. What's happened? Increased pharmaceutical expenses, copays many recipients can hardly afford, over-prescribing of drugs, and many seniors walking around in a drug-induced zombie state.

I agree with your point and I am on medicare.

Medicare Part A should be the only part there is.
As long as illegal aliens and the rest of the Takers of Society get free healthcare, Medicare recipients shouldn't be paying a dime.
Most of us have paid in for 40+ years and still get charged every month.
