It only makes sense to apply a means test to this entitlement. Why should a millionaire in Palm Beach pay the same premium as a poor person?

Why should he be penalized for being thrifty and productive?

Why should Warren Buffet's medical bills be paid for by poor working stiffs? Nothing conservative about that.

False dichotomy. Warren Buffet's (and Jimmy Buffet's) medical bill should be paid by those that put the money into the system: WARREN (and Jimmy) BUFFET! And it WAS!

Do you think if you added up all the contributions that Warren Buffet put in and subtracted all the usage he does (assuming he went 100% Medicare) that he would somehow TAKE more than he CONTRIBUTED?

My God! Was I asleep when the DU Coup happened here at FR? We are now saying that those who contributed more should get less? And somehow that those who contributed less are somehow now SUBSIDIZING those who contributed more?

Up is down? Green is red? Liberal is Conservative?

Where the heck am I??
