Obviously the GOP isn't going to just come out and say that they want to cut/privatize/eliminate your social security and medicare right before an election. OTOH, they are dropping hints before an election that they will likely win.
I had a scheduled surgery on my lower back on December 7. Everything went well and I was home but resting mostly because it was a major surgery. Then abruptly problems. I had a 2nd surgery on the 20th. That went well. Everything looked great. I went home. And was back in the hospital the next day. Surgeon did a bedside procedure in my hospital room. And I stayed there, flat through Christmas, 5 days.
Hey, guys.
Millions young and old, caught up in the struggle for Healthcare and now there's a consensus.
Updated: So we knew the $$$ Trillion+ in Tax Giveaways to the rich had to be paid for 'somehow'. Now Repubs tell us how they plan to do it. Most smart people knew this was coming anyway, but now the first cannon balls have been fired against the ramparts, so this is no longer just a bad dream.
Quite a few of my family members, including my wife jb and I, depend on Medicare for at least part or all of our healthcare. Staying awake at night concerned about where this all is headed.
A few Republicans are backtracking on Medicare cuts. Or at least the dirtbags are saying so.
