Medicare has been on the verge of bankruptcy for years; benefits have been cut, my medicare tax quota has been increased (along with that other montrosity, social security), and more and more people are being forced to lose some of their life-long health insurance which they got through the companies they worked for when they become eligible for medicare. The paperwork for seniors has therefore doubled as private health care plans exist for them only to cover what medicare does not. My mother struggled with the whole rotten system for decades before she died. In settling her estate, I had a lot of paper work to do relative to her health care.
So now the morons have just bumped up the cost of this insanity by nearly half a trillion bucks - and this only for what, the first year? This added entitlement will only hasten the inevitable collapse of the whole rotten system. Maybe that's the silver lining.

Fat chance, I read this qoute somewhere here on FR and I believe it to be the truth.
