I'm 51 and a half.

To Senator Ryan: Howe the FUCK are the folk in the 45 - 55 age group going to get healthcare in our "golden" years?? And you think this VOUCHERCARE plan will get you VOTES from us? Good FUCKING luck, you psychopath.

3. What kind of beer??
I would not want to get you something that you would not drink...............

As far as traveling, just start with your left foot and follow the yellow brick road

5. You would not be getting me something I would not drink.
When beer and travel money is sent.

And walking somewhere, and beer and travel money are not the same thing.

2. People 55 and older need to be made to understand that Vouchercare
will not fly and Medicare will probably go down with it. The day they take money out of my check for Vouchercare, I start burning shit and turning over cars! You are not grandfathered into anything!

8. People 55 and older would still be seriously affected. Check the details.
For one thing, the prescription drug "doughnut hole" would be opened up again.

Second thing, various screening exams would no longer be covered. That would probably end up actually costing money for late treatment of diseases that wouldn't get caught early.

etc., etc.

There was a reason that Medicare was established. It was because older people COULDN"T GET insurance!

9. Precisely. Make it simple. Medicare is made to work for everyone or it goes away.
You can't explain much detail to a lot of people. These people that thought it was ok to vote teabagger because they wouldn't be effected, need to think again.

7. Ding Ding Ding
You hit the nail on the head. So he must be expecting to get kicked out of office next election, because that's what's going to happen.

6. Why isn't our anger aimed at the real culprits, pharma, health insurance cos and all those who keep
Increasing our costs so outrageously?

You ever feel like getting mad at the Government for their inability to keep shelling out more and more is misguided?
