Post #352 Medicare, Sorry-@ss

I am sick and tired of blowhards ranting about Medicare. It's NOT FREE! Yes, I am covered by Medicare, but I spend $1000s in out-of-pocket expenses every year -- probably way more than your sorry-@ss spends on health insurance. Indeed, I will be going into the hospital next week to have eye surgery -- my surgery was postponed -- and, even with Medicare, I will be paying for a hot tub for my doc! :p All Medicare does is keep me from losing my home. So, please, spare me your tales of "hang nails" covered by FREE Medicare.

Know a welfare recipient? Ever been in a welfare recipient's home? The last time I was, they had a picture of Jesus on the living room wall -- yes, a white Jesus, by the way.

Socialism? Uh, there are no Obamacare doctors working in Obamacare hospitals. Medicare is a government-run aid program, but it's a far cry from socialism. You want an example of socialized medicine in America complete with a single-payer system? Check out the VA, army doctors in VA hospitals. The GM model is closer to socialism than Medicare. It truly boggles the mind that people throw around the word "socialism" without understanding its meaning!
