The Obama campaign sees Romney’s selection of Ryan as meaning, among other things, the determination to destroy “Medicare as we know it.”
Lordy, I could almost hope so, says a Medicare recipient — the one pounding out these words. “Medicare as we know it” — strapped with unsustainable obligations to people deceived by their own government — needs to go. Obama himself calls the present program “unsustainable.”
My fellow oldsters, the money Congress promised us for health care, along with those who limp into senescence just behind us, ain’t there, and it ain’t a goin’ to be there. Not with $700 billion of Medicare money going into Obamacare and the government’s future plan to ration what we do get on the say-so of an unelected panel of experts. Tell me that’s “Medicare” as we know it! William Murchison
