Despite your previous admonition for me to chill out, you just don't know when to give it a rest, do you? Now, you come back making two blatantly false assertions.
1) I did not mention Social Security at all.
2) In both of my previous responses, I asserted that Medicare was designed primarily -- not "only" -- for those over 65. There are limited exceptions that allow benefits for those under that age.
As for 'stating the obvious', you keep lamenting that too much Medicare $ is spent on 'the elderly'. It didn't appear obvious to you -- it seemed that you needed to be reminded that this is the group for which the program is intended. While not everyone in the 65+ may not consider himself or herself "elderly", a qualifying age had to be established, and that's the number that was settled upon.
Now why don't you practice what you preach and skip a few of your meds to give the younger folks a chance. You're certainly not making a lot of sense with your spurious arguments and are reading things into my comments that I did not write or suggest.
For my part of it, I'm not wasting any more time. I might as well be trying to have a reasonable discussion with a liberal.
Go ahead -- get the last word in. You "win".
Yes, you’re right... Had a bit too much wine to speak coherently. Was really flaming the AARP who I dispise with their attempts to gouge the public for every dollar they can.
Sorry for my over reaction...
