Now Legislation Is On The Table To End Medicare. They Just Won't Stop.

Get ready for health care "coupons" under the new GOP plan to essentially end Medicare. You might call it privatization but in the end it will be the end of health care fore seniors. Add denial for existing conditions and "coupons" mean nothing. Yet a senior community like The Villages, they are almost all GOP.

During the election there was a golf cart parade of Trump lovers. I bet they voted 90% GOP.

We need to get that monster of a liar out of the White House ASAP. It would be interesting to know if people are dying from the stress he and the Republicans are causing with their off-the-wall ideas.

Just imagine an elderly man or woman trying to stay in their home or apartment because it is paid for and their Social Security and Medicare are just barely enough to get them through the month. Even a few dollars less per month could throw them behind. These people are proud and trying desperately to handle their own affairs is a burden, but necessary for their own peace of mind. Then, Trump and the Republicans/Ayn Randers come along and threaten to whittle away at their SS and Medicare. Heart attack/strokeville. I can just see it.

Dear God, I despise them!

Lot of retired government workers from DC and execs from New York with Cadillac pensions who feel they've earned their money and think they shouldn't pay for some "lazy slob" or a "woman with 5 kids".
