What will the birthers do now??

KEEP THE GOVERNMENT AWAY FROM MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY!!

[$tevie]

Can we keep swampy's medical benefits off the table? It is rude if you ask me. That's the kind of thing you can do with public personalities but not private individuals. We should be grateful that she was able to get the help she needed.

Thank you, $tevie.

August, what hypocrisy? Medicare was there for me when I needed it. It's something I paid into all my working life and something I'm still paying for. Don't you get it? I paid for it like any other health insurance. I made a claim for benefits just as I would for private insurance. Medicare denied several items on my claim and those were paid out of my pocket.

Where's the hypocrisy in that?

This rationalization betrays your hypocrisy. Medicare is not like any other private health insurance. It is a social safety net for our society's elderly. Any other private health insurance would have deemed you an untenable risk and moved to remove your nonperforming asset off their roles as soon as they could, all the while fulfilling the intention of minimizing any payments for your treatment.

Your documented ideology of denying such a safety net to others in need, while simultaneously using such a safety net for your own potentially life-saving treatment, is the basis of your rank hypocrisy.

Give her back her lifetime contributions plus interest THEN ask her not take it. You can't because the government stole it and used it for something else.

Heh! As the kids say, PWNED!!

That just about covers the fly-bys.

AW...."It is a social safety net for our society's elderly"

You describe me to a tee. Why do you insist on excluding me from of"society's elderly". In my case Medicare did exactly what it was designed to do. I'm "old" (69) and it was a safety net.

Dakota is exactly right.
