Say what you want about Medicare, but without it, my mother in law would be suffering much more in her illness.

The Democrat party is over there, if you like the current state of affairs. Your mother's health care costs, and those of other senior citizens, are a massive component of our federal budget and part of our socialist economy. It's a million people saying stuff like you said that gave us the $2.7 trillion (and growing) budget, whether it's Democrats or Republicans in control.

First of all she's not my mother, she's my mother in law. Second, without the assistance of medicare, she would not be able to afford the high costs of her prescriptions and we as a couple don't make enough to make up the difference. Why are you against helping people like her to live a little longer and in better health? Some people don't have the means to pay for these things all on their own.
