It might be an idiot plan to give all seniors, who have paid into the system all their working lives, free medicines but then what do we call the plan that provides free total medical care to 20+M (number quoted by Rep. Tancredo on 1/05/06) illegals. Oh, never mind, I think I know the answer to that question. It's called "Look the other way" or also known as "Pretend to be doing something" while they swarm across our borders to loot and pillage our infrastructure and basic services.
The amount some of these people paid in is eaten up the first year or two. After that, it is all on the idiot taxpayer.
Seniors who are sitting with 300K or more in mutual funds and assets should not be demanding that younger workers pay for their drugs.
