Much of the bill is bad policy - but the general concept of helping low income seniors I do support. If we're going to continue the reform of Medicare, we certainly should help out parents and grandparents. Its our obligation to those who helped us. I regard the legislation the President received as simply the beginning of a process, not the final word on the future of Medicare. There's a lot more work ahead.

Yes, my parents and grandparents certainly helped me. It is an obligation based on my respect and love.

Btw, it was they who helped me, not the government by way of them and my obligation is the same. The government is not part of my obligatory equation.
