Funny about that, I am someone who has been on Medicare for some time now, and I have noticed absolutely no reduction in my benefits whatsoever! In fact, I have noticed several newer benefits in the meantime. This reduction of funds you and some others say is happening must be pretty efficient, to say nothing about the fact that my immediate private insurance provider, that certainly wants to deep those Medicare premiums flowing, has also said nothing about any such cuts.
Although I must admit that they probably would not say much anyway while wanting to keep their customers in the meantime. But isn’t that a proper profit making motive?
I warned you a year ago…..Make your Dr appointments now because soon it will take 6 months to even see a Dr.Now Americans will be like the Canadians except we’ll be going South to Mexico to get timely care.
What a contradiction. You say that we need government health care because so many people can’t take care of them selves. Then you want to deny the people access to your government health care system because they arn’t takeing care of themselves. Liberalm logic at its best.
Sorry if this has already been pointed out: MediCal is California’s version of MediCAID, it has nothing to do with MediCARE…two different programs entirely. ;)
Actually, I think she got one thing correct. The healthcare system itself is already overloaded, particularly in larger cities. I’m not sure why Mrs. Benson thinks the increase in benefits is the problem. Uninsured people were still seeking healthcare in ERs before now. But she is correct about one thing: the nation’s medical system is well over capacity and has been for some time. The last numbers I’ve heard indicate that there is a projected shortage of doctors. No one wants to go into medicine anymore. Can’t say I blame them.

Boy oh boy, I can’t wait until Obama Care “evolves” to become single payer, then we can have health care just like the veterans do, oh wait…

I guess it would be better to just let people die rather than put pressure on the system. It would only affect, you know, those people.

I occasionally read Lisa’s cartoons, hoping that one day she will be funny, or even intelligent.
No luck so far.

Can we replace Lisa’s strips with someone who is funny and makes sense?
