WASHINGTON — A check from Uncle Sam gets your attention, even if the money doesn't help that much with the bills.
More than 750,000 Medicare recipients with high prescription costs each got a $250 government check this summer, and 3 million-plus more checks are going out to people who land in the program's anxiety-inducing coverage gap.
Democrats, running scared in an election year, are trying to overcome older people's mistrust of the new health care law, which expands coverage for younger generations by cutting Medicare payments to hospitals and insurers.
Will the ploy work?

Some (fewer and fewer) people still live in Way Oversimplified City, but cornered Rats are going to fight for any little thing they can get. It’s becoming harder and harder to hide that, while those on maintenance prescriptions who hardly ever need to see a doctor may do pretty fair, those who actually need to see a doctor frequently are going to be in a world of hurt because the doctors are going to go Galt with a vengeance.
Yes, but timing is crucial. They must be delivered the week before the election.
Ahhhhhh yes.....
This mob has shown an extraordinary ability to screw up a wet dream.
Carry on.
Uh no.
My father would strangle Obama if he had the chance. Obama is on my dad’s “six month to live list.”
Oh, you didn’t hear about this? My esteemed dad has established a list of the people he wouldn’t mind doing away with if he suddenly learned he had only six months to live. It’s quite a list:
1. Ted Kennedy (already gone)
2. Jamie Moyer (baseball pitcher who killed the Tribe)
3. Michael Jordan (for obvious reasons to a Cavs fan)
4. Pete from the neighborhood (don’t ask me, I don’t know)
5. Edgar Renteria (1997 WS)
6. My mom (his ex wife...lol)
7. Obama (”this guy is a punk!”)
8. B. Clinton (a pig)
9. LBJ (who enslaved the blacks of Cleveland, causing its demise.
10. John Elway?Rich Karliss (Tell that loser that Rich Karliss’ field goal was NO GOOD)
That’s only Dad’s top ten. Trust me, there’s more where that came from.
LOL
Dear Dems:
I have received the money you sent. I understand that this is it, the cupboard is now bare. So I will now vote for the GOP to get it restocked.
Thanks for the $$$!
You pal,
The Curmudgeon
I wouldn’t vote for Obama or the Democrats if they sent me $ 10,000.00
Most of it is my own money.
STOP SPENDING... i think thats what the American people really want..no arranged contracts with pals for border equipment. no paltry rebates that dont fix the problem.no gutting the military and no covering Union losses or bad policy. STOP SPENDING
Yep. I would just look at it as a down payment on everything all the politicians have stolen from me.
I like how the liberals at Google promote these dumb stories on their news page. Google = Agent of Democrats Agenda.
No it won’t and I’ll tell you why.There are many more Medicare and SS recipiants who don’t get it but heard about it thinking everyone would get it.I had a conversation about it with a group who thought everyone got it.Most were p*ssed to find out that they weren’t getting it.

Go on take their 30 piece of silver to abandon your support for our economic freedom.
Leave us now if that is all it takes for you to betray our freedom...
Better men would rather die then accept Caesar’s 30 pieces of silver to betray their believes.
