McConnell is right: “So this entire process is essentially a charade. The Government has promised millions of Americans benefits over the years, IF those same Americans bought into their idea of having a Medical insurance available IF they sent in money each paycheck for the last 40+ years. NOW, the people in charge of the Government want to pull the rug out from underneath these same Americans, because they, as part of the Government, have not only spent the money that was to fund those promises, but have added hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who didn't work and contribute to that program, thus making it insolvent. As it is, seniors who planned, scrimped, and saved, for their retirement, are now to be thrown out to the wolves, and the promises the Government made are just that….more hot air. Older Americans are becoming more and more disillusioned. Their younger relatives should be alarmed as well. The Government lied to their older relatives…..the Government will break any promises made to these younger ones as well. Americans were told the purpose of reform was to reduce the cost of health care. “Instead, Democrat leaders produced a $2.5 trillion, 2,074-page monstrosity that vastly expands government, raises taxes, raises premiums, and wrecks Medicare
