5. They have been doing this for years. Cut taxes, then cut
beneifits. Why do you think Medicare has gotten
so weakened over the years?

Medicare used to be a stand alone program with close
to full benefits.

It has been gutted over the years so now must buy Nedugap
Insurance to use along with Medicare.
