      Yep, because under the CURRENT system, the elderly get all the care and medication they need without any risk to their savings accounts and pensions at all. Suuuuurrrrre they do.

      And of course, nobody can imagine what "rationing" would be like, since we don't have anything like "rationing" now. Just the World's Best Health Care System, available to anyone willing and able to pay for it. And no government bureaucrat can come between you and your doctor either- nope, just an insurance company employee there to explain why your thousands of dollars in premium payments over the years do NOT mean that you are covered for this particular medication or that particular procedure. But not to worry- you can still GET the medication and surgery you need. All you have to do is come up with the money. No government bureaucrat will EVER stand in the way of the free market to provide you with the very best!

      Who could ask for anything more?

      FoxNews Channel once more bring on these "rich", small business owners who are mega-millionaires (the "real" Working and Middle Class) with their 'cadillac' HealthCare Insurance Plans to say how "BAD" HealthCare Reform is for those Americans "without". Makes ALOT of sense huh? LOL

      Before they can argue the stipulations, they should be made to present them in the bill. Why had they not organized before the discussion of Health Care Reform for seniors from their bully pullpits in media? Does the bill actually address neglecting the elderly or providing less care or giving them the option of deciding Last of Life care? We lend ourselves widely to issues that are illusive. Present the words in the bill and the reform language and then go at it. The language is not in the bill that way and therefore we as a nation will be able to move forward to more truthful media instead of "Dark Journalism/Reporting".

      Fear, Fear, Fear.

      There's a clip of one of these rally's where one of these teabaggers asked who was afraid of Government run health system and the entire room had their hands raised, then Rep. Gene Green asks who here who has Medicare and the same hands went up. (4:30)
