LOL I'm sure you were aware I meant federally provided prescription drug benefits for needy elderly.
I provided for my elderly mother for 20 years before she passed away. If she hadn't had us, she would have had to make a choice between medicine or food or heat. Or maybe a little bit of each, but not sufficient quantities of all three.
I am also involved with/donate to a number of charities. I know of none that have any type of prescription assistance offering. If you are aware of any, please let me know.
In the meantime, I hope that you, too, are caring for your elderly parents and assisting charities that help the indigent.
Yes, I was very much aware of that. That's theft. At least a trillion dollars worth of theft, which will distort the medical market yet again and raise the price of drugs because nobody will have an incentive to conserve their use. It's stealing money from your neighbors, and you, by force and giving it away to buy votes. That's stealing.
And don't give me this "needy" nonsense. Are you arguing that it's perfectly OK to steal from somebody else to help yourself if you're "needy"? Quite a rationalization. And who defines "needy", anyway? Bill Gates, Janet Reno and Rush Limbaugh will get these "free" pills (via money stolen from others).
It's theft. It's wrong. It's not my copy of the Constitution anywhere either.
And yes, I help my family and others. That's how it should work in a theoretically-free country.
