Sorry, but no to cutting Medicare. People have worked hard & paid into this their whole lives. This is their money.

I’m afraid you have no idea how the system actually works.

It’s all funded by the young with the (false, empty) promise that these Ponzi like pension systems will be there for them when their day comes.

Anything anyone “paid in” was spent many times over, long ago. The only thing between the system and immediate insolvency is a torrential downpour of debt.

You don't "pay into" Medicare. It's a straight wealth transfer.

I agree with you mMy company insurance was excellent. It was stopped when Obama care went into a effect. We paid into both and deserve at least one of them. I recently recovered from 4th stage breast ccancer and I would not be able to pay that bill. More than likely I would have refused the treatment rather than go bankrupt. I could go for a grandfather clause for both medicare and social security if more private plans were available for the uncovered citizens.
