If you want honesty and hard truths than why portray an attack on the health and well being of Seniors and disabled children as simply one of those hard choices.Seniors and low income families with disabled children, or middle-aged men with who develop a heart condition for that matter, will be forced to choose from an array of private insurers and would still have to pay more for the same amount of coverage.So these people use their cute little vouchers to buy private insurance - which has administrative cost about 9% higher than Medicare or Medicaid - and when their vouchers run out, they have no more resources to pay for care. It is not about getting lazy people off their butts and finding a job to pay for their care. Many of those with poor health would love nothing better than to have the good health and physical stamina to work. If the private market system was capable of delivering this care one assumes they would do so. Leaving the sick and disabled to fend for themselves is not capitalism, or conservative or American, it is social-Darwinism. A philosophy kindred to what southern slave holders used to believe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
