While some are satisfied with Medicare (especially), and less so even with Medicaid (or even dual coverage), many have problems that fall through the cracks, with VALID, LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS!

First of all, I was born in Europe. Secondly, drugs should be legal so these people can actually make money. Most people get arrested for doing drugs even when it hurts no one else, but for some reason our government has power to tell us what we can and cannot do to ourselves. That's unconstitutional. Yes, times have changed, but one thing remains the same, evil government! They don't fix things.

Mr. Moore is correct in the fact that Medicare and Medicaid are "underfunded" and that is the truth. To the comment on Canada, personally I had a Canadian physician as a child and the "wait" was not long at all. In fact, the physician I had was the only pediatrician around the geographic area I lived in the United States. So am I a "socialist" cause I had a "Canadian Physician?????"

@poindexterwitkowsky The overspending liberals spend every cent they can get their hands on, then they borrow money from China so they can spend more. Soon, they will be pissing away people's social security funds too.

Before the Democratic Party asks support, their elected officials should be up front about what they expect to do with the futures of those who elected them: Aug. 10, 2011, Super Congress/Committee Member Democratic Senator John Kerry Willing to Cut Social Security and Medicare: "Senator Kerry has repeatedly expressed his willingness to cut Social Security and Medicare, despite the fact that retirees and near retirees saw much of their wealth destroyed with the collapse of the housing bubble."

Stand up 4 your RIGHTS Americans. The REPUBLICANS have been FOOLING YOU for the last 30 yrs. SOCIAL SECURITY*, (SS) , is NOT an entitlement! SS HAS A $2.6 TRILLION SURPLUS. SS CAN pay every claim at least until 2030. SS DOES NOT increase the federal budget by one cent! Tell the REPUBLICAN GANGSTERS& THEIR WALLSTREET BANDIT FRIENDS that you will FIGHT any PRIVATIZATION OF your SS pension.+You will FIGHT ANY REDUCTION IN BENEFITS. YOU will FIGHT any change in AGE REQUIREMENT FOR SS BENEFITS!
