So, can we change the age requirement for Medicare to 0 now? |
|
Since we have an even heavier health care burden staring us in the face, some emergency sanity is needed.
What is the problem with giving everyone Medicare by changing the age requirement of an already existing system that works well and that people like?

6. Yep, because his "payback" for supporting McCain... |
|
...keynoting the Republican convention, questioning Obama's patriotism, etc., etc. is to be treated like King For A Day (every day), while those of us who actually worked long and hard for Obama get shown the back of the hand and told we're being "irrational" if we don't go along.
