Screw it !

I received a call from by Representative Bill Johnson (Republican) how he is working, on my behalf, to pass the Ryan budget and save Medicare.  I spent a few days gathering some stats to write about the subject. He said, in his recorded call that if I was over 55 I need not worry. My Medicare would not be touched. Their Voucher system would only affect people 55yrs of age or younger. These proposed vouchers would be around $8,000 and paid to the Insurance Company when a retiree bought one of their health plans.

After the call I started to find stats that compared what the Gov. Pays now for Medicare per person and what they would pay with the new voucher system. I looked up studies that commented if seniors could even afford a health care plan in order to claim their voucher discount. I actually had a large blog planned for this week.

Today I changed my mind. If people 55 and younger can’t take the time to care about their future why should I.  I get tired of writing about issues no one seems to care about. The news said the Majority of Americans were against the Affordable Care Act. I wondered why? Surly they could not have looked into the provisions and protections of this bill.

Today I don’t have the energy or the will to try and convince a group of younger people what is good for their future. As long as My Medicare is not changed I say that starting in about ten years these people will have to live with their indifference. I wash my hands of this issue. Voters can believe the GOP. They can cry later.
