The U.S. Health Care Debate

[Lemur]

Are you suggesting that Senoirs are a catered-to class who should not have the Federal health benefits OR are you suggesting that because Seniors have the benefit that all of us should, irrespective of whether we are capable earners in the prime of our lives who are competant to make our own decisions?

I'm suggesting that seniors' benefits should be on the table for discussion, while currently they are not. And I would very much like to bury Medicare Part D in a dark hole full of radiated scorpions.

We have one party committed to never raising taxes, and another party committed to never cutting benefits. Between the two of them it's hard to see how we're going to reach a sane result.
