McGavin,
Check your facts. What percentage of senior citizens had ANY problems getting the prescription drugs they needed? It was well under 5% - the elderly prescription drug crisis was completely manufactured by the left.
Now, government has stepped in to solve the manufactured problem and what will be the result? Already, the costs are far beyond the initial estimates (I'm shocked I tell you). In addition, I will be so bold as to predict that a higher percentage of elderly will report problems with getting prescriptions now that the benevolent government has seen fit to interject themselves into a situation where the private sector was functioning just fine!
The end result is that more seniors will have difficulties getting prescription drugs causing more infections to become septic resulting in even higher across-the board costs for Medicare.

Nobody is forcing them to take the coverage. They can continue to have private insurance if they want. Sorry, I can't see that it's going to cost as much as people are saying.
I've listened to people bi*ch about the NCLB act, yet tonight it was on the news that math scores are higher than they have ever been. Do you really think that happened all by itself? We had a problem with teachers not teaching, now they have to in order to pass the tests. That's a good use of money to my mind, especially since we are going to be in competition with both the Indians and the Chinese. We either teach our kids math, or teach them to be servants.
