1. Translation:

Ten percent of the old folks who benefit from Social Security and Medicare are glad they got theirs, but don't think the poor should be helped with healthcare.

2. You did not read the article -

or perhaps didn't understand the material.

Try reading it (again?) and you will see you could not be more wrong.

Enjoy your stay.

4. Quite honestly I didn't see the link at the bottom, only the graphic

And I was more or less kidding.

[DURHAM D]

5. Nothing funny about your comment.

And another thing - you are an ageist.

[David Gill]

6. Now, now,

Over and over again the elderly- as an overall demographic group- have sold this country out. They are the reason we had eight years of George W. Bush. They're the ones who make it so lucrative for politicians to waste trillions of dollars, and thousands of peoples lives pursuing a flawed War on Drugs. Their voting habits have led to the Ryan plan- a political calculation that the reliably elderly vote will accept changes to Medicare so long as it doesn't affect them.

[DURHAM D]

8. So all seniors are bad?

Again - ageism is particularly ugly from a so-called Democrat.

[David Gill]

9. How does "the elderly as an overall demographic"= "all seniors are bad"?

That's not what I said.

7. That's bullshit. 65% of Americans support Medicaid

3. The labeling on the last poll says "And Majorities Say They

Need Major Changes" but the figures do not reflect that...The Works pretty well catagory has higher numbers than needs major changes. So they are adding in needs to be completely rebuilt.
