That is one end goal of communism, the reduction of choice. It’s just too stressful to have a variety of goods and services available. All that stress depletes the energy of the slaves. It creates unnecessary competition, with winners and losers. Losing is stressful. And unfair. The government should provide one of each type of good or service and you can pay the government for whatever they provide. And then thank them for the stress reduction. And for the fairness,too.

You’re welcome.

of course. people over 40 are stupid.
they will naturally make bad decisions for themselves.
far far better to have the government geniuses decide everything for the stupid sheeple.

Obamacare advisor Jonathan Gruber argued that there were too many Medicare Part D plans for seniors to choose from, which led them to make bad decisions when enrolling in a plan...ah well then, when Obama stole three-quarters of a trillion dollars from projected Medicare funding to give to other health-care to make the ACA actually look "affordable", it turns out he was really helping those silly old people who don;t know what's best for them by limiting the number of confusing choices they could make - now it all makes sense.....

Yeah, us old seniors don't know what a $5000 deductible is nor a 20-35% co-pay is. We're just to feeble minded to do the subtraction math from our premiums.

They should just shoot anyone over age 65 and be done with it. No more Medicare and gazillions of dollars coming in from those under 65 for their pet projects to get re-elected. Gawd, I hate politicians, even more than ambulance chasers you see every day on TV.

Cracked my wife up the other day after watching all the possible side affects of some drug. I said, "...also,if you wake up dead, make sure you contact your doctor". Well, it was funny at the time...you had to be there.

It’s still funny ! :-)

I long for the good old days when prescription drugs couldn’t be advertised. There is a pill for EVERYTHING these days.

I agree with your wife about the side effects-—they are a hoot.

The same drug might cause diarrhea,constipation,insomnia,grogginess,weight loss,weight gain etc.

Oh well,what do I know-—I’m just another dumb old lady.

If I saw that worthless POS on the street this 64 year old would wail on his ass until he was bloody and wimpering. The jail sentence would be well worth it.

Just pelt him with rotten fruit. Then you have limited the charge to misdemeanor status. I plan to do the same thing to Christie if he comes to my Texas town to campaign.

Suppose Pajama boy had only 3 restaurants to choose from or only 3 suits to purchase. His rhetoric might change...

No, Pajama Boy would be happy with three choices, provided that they were provided by government in his own best interest. All he really needs is the cafeteria at school, a Starbucks, and a Chinese restaurant to which he will take his dates, when he is old enough to have any.

To hell with rotten fruit; maybe dragging him through a hog pen and pushing his face into the “mud”. I would tend toward a rubber hose. With the right length and tensile strength it can be very effective.

Gruber thinks all seniors are senile like Harry Reid.

Yeah, Gruber is, in all probability also a member of “Capos for Islam” ( a branch of “I Hate Israel”) as well.

Not a single Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president and the MSM in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.

According to Obama, the MTI professor, a frequent visitor to the White House, was just an adviser. For his “invaluable advise and services” to the Obama administration professor Gruber received over 5.9 million dollars... Stupidity and corruption to the to nth power.

My medicare part D plan is with Express Scripts, not the federal govt. The others offered were WalMart, Humana, Cigna, AARP, etc. Is there one that is actually run by the feds?
