SIGH, Why would you want bureacrats sitting in Washington DC ( be they “Death” or “Work” Panels ) deciding your fate?
Wouldn’t it be better for YOU and YOUR DOCTOR to make the decision?
I don’t want anyone in Washington deciding my fate.
My point is we are focused totally on one problem, while the cancer that will actually eat the country alive is totally ignored.
The entire Medicare problem is caused by the baby boomers. Everyday more and more of them turn 65, and the problem gets worse. But every day some of them die. And one day you will reach a turning point. On that day more will die than will turn 65. And from that point on, the problem becomes less and less till it disappears.
Work the same exercise with welfare. There is NO turning point. Every year it gets bigger and bigger. And when ALL of the dollars that are actually spent on welfare are counted, it is already bigger than Social Security or Medicare. And in just a few years it will be bigger than both of them combined.
And you haven’t heard a word about it during this election cycle.
