During the Bush administration the main prority has been to get rid of all entitlements.  Medicare Choice programs give disabled people who do not qualify for Medicaid, healthcare.  Without being on a Medicaid Choice program, most disabled people would not be able to afford healthcare at all.  Because some people who are disabled work, or work part-time, or have other income, Medicaid will not cover them because they have "too much" income.  If they trick people into getting rid of Medicare Choice programs, there will be no healthcare affordable for these disabled people.  This is another case of do it or die.  I for one can't do it, and I'm am not willing to die for "just an idea".

hey, it's been tried! A few men and their families, took pitch-forks and whatever they had, and chased after them and stuck British Soldiers, uhmmm you know where,  til it hurt so much they cried, 'Fowl!", "Ouch!",  "I wave my white kerchewiffs!!"
     America is LOTS unequal. Noone I know, likes it. About 1900, corporations had figured out how to capitalize on differences in housing, jobs, incomes, wealth, and education. In effect, dissenters in Civil Rights, Democratic Party Building, Union Organizing, and in various Legal Reform efforts since then, have been associated with criminals, or branded as bad/evil in some way. (Who likes Osama, anyhow?)
      Recently, REAL criminals have taken limited power. They demand to have their crimes described to them! We must acceed; we must be clear, full of examples, relentlessly factual, confident and authoritative, and of sound reasoning-in short WE MUST BE AT OUR BEST!
     Then, let's initiate some real dialogue between our States, and really MANAGE our commons!!! :)
