Sad thing is, alot of elderly people do not use the internet & they are not getting this news on their TV. They will be smacked with this out of the blue & not have any means of even buying medicines they need.

I have a senior neighbor, about 77 and she is looking to get a job now, as she has fallen into the medicare "do-nut hole" and can't afford her medicines! PATHETIC, and it's just going to get even worse!!

If we don't stop this soon, it will be too late to fix it!!

Tell her to apply for PACE.

According to Bill Gates, granny needs to do the right thing and submit to death panels. She will save us all a lot of money which we can use to hire teachers.

And you're right. It's just going to get even worse ... a hell of a lot worse.

Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., “...They just didn’t understand how we could save money on this by adding more people to the system...”

Illinois Cares might be able to help.

It look like Illinois' version of PACE(PA) or PAAD (NJ).

That poor woman. She is up against a Goliath, job wise. Job market is pitiful and who will hire somebody in their 70’s. They say teenagers are having a hard time finding a little entry level job to earn a few extra bucks after school and weekends.
