Not meaning to pick on you!!

$1,000,000+ & $12,000/month for drugs?

We need to do something about medical care in this country and do it quickly. The cost of Medicare is going to bankrupt us.

A guy name John Silber ran for Governor of Massachusetts in 1990. He was the former President of Boston University and quite an accomplished guy. He barely lost the election to Bill Weld.

He lost, because he treated Boston's favorite newscaster (Natalie Jacobsen) less than politely.

People had forgotten, that earlier in his campaign, he had said: "The medical care system in the USA is going to bankrupt us all. Old people have a duty to die".

We're not there yet, but unless something changes, that's what it's going to come to.
