The Future of Medicare

Medicare has already been compromised by a thousand tiny pieces of legislation - what the Republicans want is to get their HANDS on all that money (it comprises an ENORMOUS chunk of the budget). They will continue passing seemingly innocuous bills in order to be able to spend that money on things they want. They are ASKING us to ALLOW them to malappropriate funds - right out in the OPEN! They have been"borrowing" against Social Security for years and have yet to pay it back. Then they say that SS is about to collapse and we can't sustain it etc... it is one of the most successful programs we ever had in this country financially - THEY just want to spend the funds elsewhere... If they are looking for money they should be looking at the Pentagon with its billions of dollars of corrupt cronyism WASTE and put an end to corporate welfare.
