What they don't love is being punished for the short-sightedness of the democratic party in the 60's. Medicare happened on their watch. The chance to make it available to all was there and they didn't give a f.uck. They only cared about their voting base.

True about the 1960's.

The GOP Ryan budget plan wants Medicare eliminated completely in 10 years.

Obama has a historic second chance to engage on this. He passed on doing it last year, and the bullies figure they have his number still.
