When speak of Medicare, Medicaid being too expensive, the
Advertisements [?]
waters are always muddied. "Medicare costs too
much--need to cut."

We need to hold Dems and Repubs accountable.
Make it it absolutely clear of which you speak.

They muddy the waters. Medicare is to expensive.

Explain: Are you saying Medicare as a program
is too expensive so we must cut benefits because
we cannot afford such a high bill.

Are you saying the Health Insurance Premiums are
too expensive???

I have caught most everyone of our leaders on both
sides using these interchangeably.

This morning on AM Joe, the guests were doing the same
thing.

We should all point out that the real cost of Health
Care lies with Medical Industrial Complex.( Insurance
Companies, Hospitals, BIG PHARMA, Medical Instruments
Businesses, Laboratories.

It the Med. Industrial Complex are permitted to continue
to raise prices much higher than the rate of inflation
Health Care Costs go up up up.

When Congress says we cannot afford this, we must
cut Medicare. They will cut benefits because prices
have risen. They never tackle the real cause of
the problem. Will either party ever work toward
bringing the cost of health care down, or will we
continue to lose benefits.
