Its a bad bill. It would be more honest if Congress simply gave us HillaryCare. Why single out seniors for special treatment? If they get a piece of the pie, I want mine too.

Go for it, however while I'm looking at the forest instead of the tree's, the bottom line issue is who takes care of the less privileged, the inefficient government bureaucracy forcing funds transfer from the public or non-government charity organization? Us, as Americans are the most generous people in the world and without losing a large portion of our hard earned labor unwillingly through taxes, I think the needy would be taken care of in a much better fashion and with the lack of government confiscation, our economy would sky-rocket.

As you may know, illegal aliens are recieving SS disability and retirement. What you may not know is that TOO many American Citizens having paid into SS for decades are not. I am 55, disabled...told to go on disability by my doctor, yes I have proof. Five years of application to SSA and still no answer. I had to sell my home. I get no medical care. Please read the comments on the following petition by it’s signers. I hope you will explore this travesty. The employees, especially contract ones are milking this system ) while people are dying.

I wish I could get my wife to understand this.
