“I’m a person who left school at 15 and I’ve worked all my life and I’ve paid into the system, and I’m not going to live long enough to get my old-age pension from this government,” she added

Sorry, Mrs. Hirst, but the system worked. It is a shame that you had to realize this while still alive. How else do you think it was designed? Why does Congress in the US not fret about the looming SocSec crisis? Answer, because they know they can Hirst us.

Not unlike what happens in this counrty when you HAVE insurance.

I hope the American people come to their senses. I just got off the phone with my HMO and I cannot tell you how frustrated I am over lack of choices, at annual enrollment time I will be switching plans.....to a non-hmo.
