I would BET it cuts more white folks out than any minority..... I would repeal every ONE of them Kennedy sympathy bills....all the 60's social welfare crap.....it was stupid at the outset, and I was dead set against it then and I knew full well what was going to happen, and sure enough, almost 1/2 a century later, the only thing that has saved our asses is the transistor, the single most important invention of all the last 60 years.... think about it.... and now that the effects of the transistor have basically been distilled through modern society and the slowdown has happened, just where IS that growth supposed to come from, that the Progressives think for a second we can pay for that debt those 60's bullshit programs created??? even YOU Chas can see the gist of my argument, if not, you dumber than you sound.... |

You do realize that VITE never said anything about minorities in terms of race, religion, creed, etc., right? Nobody said it was created for minorities. He said it was created for THE minority (as in not the majority) like it has become. Did you actually manage to twist that into something racial in that head of yours?? |

Medicare has become a full blown revenue sucking machine that has failed to reduce cost, prevented the free market from producing more Doctors as needed and prevented meaningfull HC reform due to the unholy partnership of Government, HC providers and Big Business. |

Like the GOP has told all of us before last November Election, we need to lesion to the people. Or has that motto changed now? |

What will America do to fix it or make the pain less? What ? Plus Medicare is a prefect example of why Government must stay out of Social engineering. The concept was very benevolent, the execution was pure politics and has driven us into a massive hole. |

How to Qualify for Medicare
Hospital Insurance (also known as Part A)
If You Are 65 or Older Most people 65 or older are eligible for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) based on their own—or their spouse's— employment. You are eligible at 65 if you: - Receive Social Security or railroad retirement benefits; - Are not getting Social Security or railroad retirement benefits, but you have worked long enough to be eligible for them; - Would be entitled to Social Security benefits based on your spouse's (or divorced spouse's) work record, and that spouse is at least 62 (your spouse does not have to apply for benefits in order for you to be eligible based on your spouse's work) ;or - Worked long enough in a federal, state, or local government job to be insured for Medicare. If You Are Under 65 Before age 65, you are eligible for Medicare hospital insurance if you: - Get Social Security disability benefits and have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's) disease; or - Have been a Social Security disability beneficiary for 24 months; or - Have worked long enough in a federal, state, or local government job and you meet the requirements of the Social Security disability program. If you receive a disability annuity from the Railroad Retirement Board, you will be eligible for hospital insurance after a waiting period. (Contact your railroad retirement office for details.) Yea ... that's a small minority ... Yea ... I can see where minorities would be a majority ... Take your pick ... |

just was pointing out...like a few others did, that the post you made the "race/minority" assumption, was...in fact not about that at all. it was about the origional intent...using the phrase "minority of people", to describe those who did not have long term health care. it appeard as though, you took that phrase out of context and put "coloring" on it... of course, I...and others could be mistaken. you may be the smartest man in the room...and we may just have missed the racial undertone to the OP and the post you quoted (VITE1). anything is possible. |

The main reason why I know for sure Medicare will not end is because it affect far more. |

Secondly the point I was trying to make is once you let the government manage anything it gets out of control simply because they want more control. Medicare is about government power more than HC. It has been proven to be more costly and less efficient than the free market alternative that were available but destroyed by Medicare. |
