Um... shouldnt we be *wanting* them to cut Medicare? Its single payer for the elderly.The right way to wean the people off of Medicare is to allow younger people to opt out.
The wrong way is to drastically slash it now, as they are doing, essentially giving those who have paid into the program all their lives and who now depend on it, the "Soylent Green" treatment.

Exactly, those who paid in should get the benefit, but the progam should be optional same with SS. Or, just phase them out completely and lets get out of this nanny state of mind.

Well, thank you for your concern for our elders
and parents. I hope someone besides you is looking out for your parents.
