THEY complain about the cost of fraud and waste in Medicare.Reduce those problems and THEY complain that there WERE cuts in Medicare.

With Medicare fraud in the billions of dollars, I think some better oversight should be given. Paying for ED treatment is rediculous. The number of unnecessary tests is terrible. Some of them are a hazard in themselves.ELIMINATE THE CAP ON SS AND MEDICARE CONTRIBUTIONS!

This is so funny.

My previous comment was to Bruce, but he deleted his.

Some want to get back to 1935, wiping all the SS out. For some reason, not very many elderly vote for that, even if Republican.

This cartoon is based on lies. It’s the GOP that’s got a written plan to gut medicare.

" it will be bankrupt by ’16 as the liberals want."So you are OK with raising taxes, or do you want to cut benefits?Also, according to a report from the trustees that just came out, SS will be depleted by 2033, and medicare by 2024. But, I know you won’t revise your “facts” based on what they say.

“a guess”I guessed right, you do discount what they said, and substitute your own opinion. No thanks, I prefer to get my facts from reliable sources, not Rush Limbaugh, or any old Joe Shmoe on the internet.And I form my opinions based on the facts, I don’t distort the facts to fit my opinions.

Medicare is to go bankrupt in 2016. And if you listen to Medicare’s own actuary, Richard Foster, the program’s bankruptcy could come even sooner than that.
