First of all, if that gentleman is listening to Al Gore, or even remembers anything Al Gore said, he is a hard core dem who won’t be swayed by anything. But if he thinks older Americans (and illegals in Texas) aren’t already being affected by changes in medicare then he is delusional. My Mother tells me weekly about another doctor in her town who has either closed his office or has announced they will no longer be taking any new Medicare patients. The idiotic notion that the money isn’t being taken away from the elderly but is taken from the hospitals or insurance companies is just unfathomable. How stupid do you have to be to believe that? It doesn’t matter where the money is going, it is all the same program. So sad that this man is unable to comprehend the scare tactics of his party
Between FreeRepublic, Twitter, other places online, newspaper editorials and magazine articles, most of us who are politically savvy absorb more info in one day than the average person does in a year. All my “friend” knows is that when he goes to the doctor, it’s “free.” And, sadly, that’s all he cares to know. Even sadder—his uninformed vote counts just as much as your informed one.
