ijustluvit, speak for yourself not me.

I have heard Team Obama acknowledge at various times, anywhere from 400 billion to 700 billion in Medicare cuts to pay for Obamacare. Sarah Palin nailed "the Federal Council", you know, the board that "approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit." with embellished hyperbolic rhetoric i.e., "death panels". What rock have you been under?

Yes, I believe the White House is afraid of losing the prolific senior voting block. The proposed Medicare cuts and the COLA freeze is a problem for them. Their answer, throw money at the problem. Buy them off. The timing is not coincidental at least to those who tossed their rose colored glasses in 1972.

Instead of your desperate ad homonym attacks and arrogant presumptuousness, I suggest you read a book. Try Tom Daschle's "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis" on a rainy day so you won't miss checking out all the "beauty around you". No apology intended for responding to you in kind with your own words.

If I choose to listen and live to the beat of Dylan Thomas....

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light".

.....that is my concern...not yours. I welcome your opinion but not your advice on how to live my life.

Have a great day in The Villages.
