on Medicare/Medicaid is now, not once the real debate starts. I posted this as a reader comment to an article on The Huffington Post about the GOP lack-of-plan for Medicare/Medicaid. While it is not a perfect system, it beats voucherizing the program at the expense of all of us late baby boomers and those who came after us. I am reposting this here so that it gets a wider audience - its that damn important!
This is what needs to be sent to every Senator and Representative. Go to www.senate.gov and www.house.gov, look up your district representative and Senator and send this to them via their contact form.
I am strongly opposed to changing Medicare and Medicaid into a voucher program. Seniors, and those on fixed incomes, can least afford to be put at the mercy of insurance companies. Close the pay-and-chase gaps in Medicare to prevent fraud and save the money that way, but LEAVE MEDICARE/MEDICAID ALONE!
This needs to be done now to drown out the whines of the Tea Partiers!
