Therefore the premiums would probably be huge and, like the education vouchers the right is dying to hand out to the looters and moochers, totally inadequate.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-80447753238610377042012-08-27T18:31:55.672-05:002012-08-27T18:31:55.672-05:00Medicare IS TOO sustainable: all they (gov) need t...Medicare IS TOO sustainable: all they (gov) need to do is raise the Medicare "tax", especially on people making millions per year. And ditto the SS tax while they're at it.<br /><br />Also, gov needs to (dare I say it?) strictly REGULATE the medical "industry". And the Banks and Wall Street. HaHa.
