If you can believe this B.S. It is exactly what you want to tell the Kerry workers. Little old lady ground down by the giant corporations. The "populist" approach.

<<One neighbor is a 77 year-old woman who has had major surgery on her throat.>> A large percent of these cases the patient would have plenty of money for prescriptions if they did not spend their income on cigarettes. In fact they may not even be a patient but for the smoking. I see plenty of people like this where the government picks up the whole tab. But others expect the government to pick up more and more while they keep their assets so they can trasfer more to their family when they die. Many older people have no appreciation for how expensive all this health care grows year after year. Apparently obtaining increasing medical benefits each year on the backs of future generations goes without question. Sure they should obtain all this care and keep their desired life style too, dont worry future generations will sacrifice.
