Senior Americans have no choice but a single payer system run by your government and probably no one here could site [sic] one person that has turned down all the benefits of being a Senior American. No one here would be willing to go without insurance, apparently. I wouldn't. Aside from that, everyone here has likely spent most of their life paying premiums for Medicare, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to walk away from the benefit even if they could.

Are you suggesting that anyone who accedes to Medicare is a hypocrite? When the alternative to Medicare is to be uninsured, there is no choice. If the alternative to Medicare were private insurance at whatever cost, then and only then you'd have a point.
