I'm afraid that the Democratic Party's approach to Medicare isn't a whole lot more rational than this.
Could you elaborate?
He's correct. Remember when the idea during the HCR debate was to allow 55+ to enroll in Medicare? Nooo, the Dems caved on that one right away and from what I read of it at the time, it would have provided a much needed boost to the entire system and solved one of the problems of people w/o insurance who fall between that gap in age. C'est la vie in DC.
Excuse me but Medicare's shortfall is 50% now. How do you expect to add millions of illness-prone subscribers to it?
