A Response To Liberals Bashing Senior Citizens And Medicare

My friend, Susan Salisbury, has an excellent retort to those on the left that seem to not understand why senior citizens want to protect Medicare and not expand into the socialist medical scheme of the Dear Leader, President Obama.
As Miss Salisbury points out, she has paid into Medicare. And yes, she is going to take what advantage she can of it. It is what she she do and her right. As all those who have paid into Medicare.
Another excellent point is that she would get nothing for paying into a health savings account.
In another words, actually being proactive with one's own health care is not rewarded. But, not taking care of one's health care needs will be rewarded under the so-called health-care "reform" scam.
If more people were encouraged to put money into a health savings account and buy a high-deductible health insurance plan, a great deal of what ails health care would be eliminated.
Most important is that Medicare does not cover everything that a private health insurance plan would. That is why senior citizens have to get a stop-gap policy. Coincidentally, the American Association of Retired Persons, better known as AARP is in the, you guessed it, Medicare stop-gap insurance business.
Medicare is but a few years away from bankruptcy. Think about what a single-payer system would do to this nation.
I think that the senior citizens have a point that many single-payer advocates ignore. And, Miss Salisbury slaps some verbal sense into the single payer advocates.
