And, I don't have blue hair.

So save the slams at the elderly. It only makes you look more the fool than you already are. Age discrimmination is as bad as racial discrimmination.

But, yes, by all means - stop Medicare cold. Pay out benefits to those who are already retired and about to be retired in the next 5 years, and give back the money paid into the plan by all others. Let them decide how best they want to plan for their medical requirements in retirement.

My point. I think you're missing it.
