The proposed public portion of the plan undercuts private plan options in Medicare, and will deny seniors their valued doctor-patient relationship". [
RetireSafe lists the following as the issues they address:
"Personal Retirement Accounts allowing individual choice, control and ownership"
"RetireSafe also commended the drug company GlaxoSmithKline for its "courageous stance in favor of protecting older Americans from the dangerous and illegally re-imported pharmaceuticals coming across the border from Canada."

RetireSafe may be someone's advocate, but it probably isn't seniors.
