ABOLISHING MEDICARE

Four prominent senators called a press conference to announce their plans for Medicare reform or more precisely abolishing Medicare. They called for dismantling Medicare as we know it in favor of a private plan that would raise the eligibility age from 65 to 70 and shift much of the cost of health-care coverage from the government to the elderly. This will eventually affect every one of us. It may well affect our earned medical health plan as well.

“This will be the new Medicare,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the proposal’s author, announced.

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month.
