"When older people are told they are too old for certain treatments, when you have to wait 3 years for a knee replacement, 6 months for an MRI." I'm absolutely SURE that you will be able to get all those treatments as soon as you need them. You'll just have to PAY for them, either by carrying more expensive insurance, or by paying cash. I pay cash, and if I need a procedure I can't get and/or afford here, I'm sure I can get it in Thailand or India, along with a foreign vacation. So, quit bawling. All you (R)'s do is cry and moan about how big a victim you are.

>>" When older people are told they are too old for certain treatments, when you have to wait 3 years for a knee replacement, 6 months for an MRI. "<< Medicare is a single payer, government universal health care system for all Americans over the age of 65 who are by far the predominate patients for knee replacements. Do you know any of these universal health care, single payer Medicare patients that have waited 3 years for a knee replacement because of Medicare?
