Bad news for the seniors with the new medicare program
For years many seniors have suffered economically because the current medicare does not cover drugs. Some are fortunately enough because they live near Canada so they can purchased the lower price drugs there. With the recent addition of drugs to the medicare program, the only winners are the healthcare providers, drug industry, and the insurance companies. In addition, most senior have always counted on AARP to speak up for them. Not this time, due to greed in working with insurance companies, AARP has sold out the seniors by lobbying for THIS medicare reform.
I really feel this is a sad day for the seniors and for all of us for years to come because we are so deep in debt and with the addition of over 400 billion, how the hell are we going to pay for these debts. Bush's only interest in pushing this ill- conceived reform is for his re-election. I learn some time back, with the exception of a few, when politicians encounter any issues, the only question they ask themselves is WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME? Many good bills got pushed aside because of this. The very sad part is this time-tested scenario holds true every time!!!
We are very much in need of a better administration. I blame on Clinton and the democrats for not pushing for a better solution when he was the president. Now the Republican are, once again, letting the big business get a crack of the pot of gold.
