While we're at it, let's cut secret service protection for ex-presidents as well. I see nothing wrong with taxpayers picking up the tab for Clinton or any other President's surgery and wish him a speedy recovery.

In a Bill that Clinton signed before he left office Secret Service Protection is now limited to 10 years after leaving office. Except for Clinton, he will be the last President to get lifetime protection.
Ex-Presidents I think get all of their medical care at taxpayer expense and I don't think they ever go on Medicare.
Of course with all the money that Clinton is making he could just pay for his own surgery but of course he won't do that.

I agree with this statement...

Regardless of what a sleeze ball he is...he was President...I have no problem with him getting continued healthcare and SS protection.
