You know, I’ve already heard this liberal talking point. “If you accept or plan to accept any sort of government medical benefit of any kind… and you oppose ObamaCare… you’re a hypocrite!”

A child who was reasonably well-versed in logic could point out the flaw in this argument.

It wasn’t a liberal talking point. I was genuinely curious.

What is not flawed is this connection:

The decision to use health-care reform, should it be available to you.
The decision to use Medicare when it becomes available to you.

I’m not claiming it’s hypocritical to use one and not the other. If they are both offered to you, well, damn… use whichever you want or neither.
