I didn't even read this article because I find this subject deathly dull, a real sleeping pill, it makes me want to take a powder, ok that's enough.
But, really, if they want to do this at all, why is NOBODY pushing for means-testing. I don't really want to buy Bill Gate's mom's medicine for her (as Rush puts it). Aiding the impoverished is one thing, but come on! What are we trying to do for our seniors, free up more quarters for the Atlantic City slot machines? All of medicare should be means tested, but I guess it's too late for that now.
Sheesh! You'd think the Republicans could have made some "compassionate conservative" points here, but it looks like there is still to much me-too-ism going on, only it's being supplemented by me-first-ism.

Aiding the impoverished is one thing, but come on! The impoverished already get free drugs from Medicaid.

I agree that the subject is dull but the debate that surrounds it is interesting.
Medicare is a vote-buying scam for the DemocRATic Party. The Pubbies want to prop up this failing "entitlement" in order to win a few votes from old people. Meanwhile, my generation is stuck paying the bill!
