Reply #20: Women live longer, so there are more angry old white women than men to recruit.

"Keep your damned, filthy government hands off my Medicare!"

They're retired and bored and, unlike the majority of those of us following behind them, many also have pension money in addition to their S.S. payments, so they've got more disposable income than many of us can comprehend. It's all "Me, me, me, me, me." It's up to their kids to talk to them about this and to make the emotional connection between the generations.

If the minority is going to dictate the policies of health care, I say we propose canceling Medicare and Medicaid and allow them to enter the private pool with the rest of U.S.. Getting rid of S.S. would also increase (potentially) most of our incomes by 15% and I'm sure that would be a hit with most working people. The majority of the under 45 crowd doesn't believe they'll ever receive the benefits of S.S., so why not do away with it NOW and allow us to invest for our own retirement?

Medicare for all, or Medicare for none.
