Don't forget senior voters are pissed that their Medicare premiums had a dramatic increase starting this coming January. The White House did nothing. Just got my Social Security letter a couple of days ago, and the Medicare premium that's taken out of my check will now be $170.10 a month! Talked to several friends and relatives, and they are not happy campers.
