re: #679 trendsurfer

Why would I? I support Medicare. Medicare gave my mother the best care should could possibly have up until her heart gave out. She was lucky though. My father died active duty military so she had great and free supplemental insurance through Tricare.

Well, someone who is 68 would have had their paycheck reduced for many years to fund Medicare. If you are saying that a 68 year-old right winger (still don’t know if this applies to the previous poster or not) should forego Medicare, shouldn’t he/she get the money back that he/she put into it along with interest if it was taken without him/her having anything to say about it? That’s fair, right? Or are you suggesting that conservatives should support programs that take their money and give them to someone else, but not support getting some sort of return on investment?

There’s really no need to respond. From your last statement, you believe that insurance is free so I don’t really expect you to understand my comments.
