Seems that network news does not report the inadequate average "savings rate" of America's aging population.

Granted, today's miracle medications were hardly dreamed of, but they were developed with billion$ of risk capital, private and public.

Now, the retired want to keep their wealth and income assets for themselves and their potential heirs, while they demand that others pay for their medical and medicine costs.

This is GREED at its most brazenly crass - THEFT with elected and judicial accomplices, under penalty of law.

Why don't these old selfish people, sitting in their mortgage free homes, living off their own "planned" life savings and SS wealth transfer, ask or even demand that their own families and friends pay for their meds? CRASS GREED.

I am sick of old selfish people demanding to be supported by others' income and angry at politicians all too willing to be accomplices in that theft.

Thieves deserve no respect.

Sorry,but I'm one of the old,selfish people about which you were referring.

All of the seniors that I know have their own prescription coverage from their former employers and want no part of this new Medicare drug plan.

I've E-Mailed my 2 idiot senators,Kerry and Kennedy,and also my pathetic Congressman,Barney Frank,but whether they will do anything about this nonsense I don't know.

Please don't put all Seniors in the same category. We aren't all selfish and I'm sure all baby boomers aren't self-absorbed.
