Guess what, I do have to pay for this too, more than you know. I don't know how old you are, nor does it matter, but I can't be on Medicare for quite a few years yet myself.

I should have clarified that I don't think you are personally mean, I really don't. So for that, I apologize. I was speaking in general about some posters here who are calling people names.

That's nice, but it's not necessary. Thanks though.

But this is a big concern... Yeah, sure.. algor would have been horrible, Hillary would have been worse. No argument.

Regardless though, someone (some generation or generations) is going to take it in the neck for this entitlement. Just like SS.

Regardless of who's in office, it's going to expand and take on a life of it's own.

You know how FEDGOV is, this will become the new "third rail" as boomers age.

I think once you do this, there's no turning back.. Ever.

There you go relying on gummint handouts again.

I'd bet that there are plenty of people here who are bitching about the government while taking a government payout.

The thing I don't like about it is that my grandchildren will still be paying for it long after you, and I are dead, and gone. I can't remember a government program that ever did anything but get bigger, and more expensive.
