I am sorry for your misfortune. From what i understand, your circumstances happened in an era which has resulted in this need for change. I am sorry no one helped you….but would you have refused it if offered? I will not argue with you that there is something wrong with what happened to you, but isnt that why we are trying to reform?

We have been staunch Republican supporters, but we can not continue to support senators like Snow. She seems to support a real blizzard. We can not support the health tax on seniors, the cap and trade and the great climate change thing that has brought us the coolest fall and now "snow" in early October. What a blast.!!!!!! We need something besides compromise! We need to fix the corruption in Washington. Anyomne have any ideas?

Seniors:

P.S Copy and send this information to as many of your friends and relatives as possible. We need to get the word out and fight back. Letters and phone calls should do the trick.

To all Seniors:

Its time to get tuff! The AARP ads support Obama-Care, but if you visit the AARP website, they claim to be non-partisan. But if you scan other links on their website, the AARP shows they do want support for Obama-Care.

The only way your voices will be heard is if you send letters to Republican members of the US Senate who are fighting for your rights.

US Senator Jim DeMint is one to write to. Here's his address demint.senate.gov
Write a letter he can carry into congress to prove seniors are fed-up with government meddling in senior wages and healthcare. If congress doesn't hear from you, if they don't see letters come in to protest, there isn't any reason why they shouldn't pass a bill to whatever they choose. No letters or comments mean your satisfied with what they're doing in office.

Yes, reform is necessary and important, but not the way the Dem's or Obama have it planned out. Make doctors stop charging elderly co-pays, stop medicare from sending letters to seniors to intice them to forfeit private insurance and change to medicare. Medicare shouldn't ask seniors to pay them seventy-five-percent of their income to be covered!
Make sure each senior receives their cost-of-living wage. The way it stands now, with all the new policy changes, 10 doctor visits for surgeibns, doctors and follow-up care costs seniors $250.00/month, and if they don't have children to pay for it, then what– stop paying for medication, their phone, light or food.

Now let's talk medicare;
My mother has private insurance, but medicare keeps sending her letters asking her to change to medicare. The letter points out that if they take over her medical expenses, they would deduct the amount from her pension.— $900.00/ month!!!
If medicare took over, she wouldn't have enough to survive. She'd have to give up her independence and live with her children. A lot of seniors don' t have it so easy. If their children won't take them in, they would have to live in a convalescent hospital.

Actually, I've seen the opposite. Since Obama was elected, seniors had their annual cost-of-living raise stopped this year, among seniors insurance plans, several have been asked to pay co-pays on all doctors visits, no matter how many times or specialties the doctors send patients for follow-up care. My own mother had eye surgery. She seen two surgeons, her personal physician and had to pay co-pays up tp $200.00! She's 84-years-old, living on a small SS check and a pension. If I didn't send her money, she wouldn't be able to afford her monthly medication expenses.
