Medicare

Medicare This program that assists people over 65 to receive health insurance to significantly lower out of pocket costs in their later years. It isn't perfect. Paying premiums, co-pays and dealing with the high cost of prescription drugs are still major challenges for people in this system. Universal Health Care would seem to be a much better system. But people pay into this system throughout their working years so this is not a "government hand out." This program is expected to be under attack very soon. Cuts are now being seriously considered. But this plan has been, and continues to be, a life saver for tens of millions of people since its beginning in the 1960"s. This is still one of the most successful and greatly needed programs in the history of our country. We should enhance and strengthen this program and take the necessary steps to improve all aspects of Medicare and stop any talk about hurting this program in any way.
