On questions such as what should be done about government programs, I like to consult the Constitution. Let’s see. What does it say about Medicare Part D? Um, here it is. Nothing. This power is not delegated to the Federal Government by the people, nor the states. Therefore, the answer is easy: complete cancellation.
Inviting in the government to resolve these issues, is like inviting an elephant into a small flower garden to prune some flowers to make the garden more healthy.
By all means, gut Medicare before one person is removed from the Welfare rolls.
That makes sense doeesn’t it?
Everything the Democrats touch turns to rot.
That is no accident. Democrats want us old people to hurry up and die......................
>>>Medicare Part D—which began in 2006 and provides prescription drug coverage to 43 million of the 60 million people covered under Medicare—is unique among entitlement programs.
Yes, it was passed without any funding mechanism. It is completley financed through government debt.
Government has NO BUSINESS
meddling with a.....er…..
government program?
Medicare Part D IS government meddling.
Not the worst of GWB’s mistakes, unfortunately.
Medicare is welfare.
I dunno, the drug companies are just inviting a smackdown with the way they have been exponentially increasing prices in 2019. There is not one prescription this year that hasn’t increased , some by double digits, for this Part D user. The Dems could get some traction on this one.
...everyone, say it with me...

Oh, so you think people on welfare today worked their whole lives to pay into it.
Really?
The Dems will always gain traction singling people out and splintering them.
Yeah, we need the Dems to save us. They’ll save us like they saved Blacks and Latinos.
Really.
Let me be the first to enlighten you that Medicare part D IS government meddling.
>>>Oh, so you think people on welfare today worked their whole lives to pay into it. Really?
No one has worked to pay for Part D. Medicare withholding was not changed when it passed. It is welfare funded by debt.
At least it’s a program that is directed at people who worked their entire lives contributing to fund our government.
IT IS NOT LIKE WELFARE.
We have generations of people on Welfare who were born, grew up, and still are on Welfare. Did they contribute anything? No.
How is that like our citizen who did?
You know this.
What competition would the be? To see who can charge the American sucker more? There is no justifiable reason for Americans to pay more for the same drug than any other country? What you call competition is nothing more than ObamaCare for Meds, the Americans get to play the part of the 1 percenters.
Harumph, competition indeed!
