Obama is the REAL "speaker", he gives nice speeches, while SHE dictates and takes away freedoms and further destroys the Constitution. They had you fooled, huh? You thought she was the speaker and he was the President?

Medicare Advantage can continue, but the government needs to equalize the amount they pay to the same amount as what they pay for fee-for-service Medicare. Alas, most seniors won't understand the sweet deal they've been getting under Medicare Advantage until the plans are no longer are subsidized at such a high level. Medicare Advantage was a sweet deal for the private insurance companies also. That's the problem here, everyone expects the government to pay for their extra benefits.

Medicare > Advantage was a sweet deal for the private insurance companies also. > That's the problem here, everyone expects the government to pay for > their extra benefits. Exactly. Essentially Mike Hunters is attacking Government mandated health care reform while he was getting a sweet deal on health care paid for mostly with Government dollars. He is perfectly willing to deny millions of US citizens government funded health care, while he is enjoying government funded health care. He doesn't see how unfair this is. He has convinced himself that he deserves the Government benefits while trying to deny them to others. I'd say he was greedy, but probably he is just confused because he listens to the wackos on AM radio too much. He is confusing what is right with what is entertaining. Ed

You sound bitter. Remember that you've got the party that you voted in to government, if you don't like then you can always vote them out next time around. -- Clive
