Insurance companies are shitting bricks right about now when they look forward.. Boomers have ALWAYS "used" their services in large numbers as we worked...and now as we start to retire, we are saying "adios" and embracing Medicare.. Many of us will buy their "supplementals", but not all of us, and many more will take the el-cheapo plans they offer.

Republicans love the idea fo keeping their biggest donors solvent..

Generations after us are smaller and more likely to work for less wages, and many are unable to afford ANY of their "offerings"

They have scrambled the golden eggs and are preparing to eat the goose

You sure told me loser.

As opposed to the dems mandating we buy from the exact same policies at the exact same price from the exact same companies.

Dems only fear this program because it allows people to make decisions outside government mandate.


EDIT: Keep an eye peeled.

Soon you will hear a lefty say, "You cons want school vouchers and medicare vouchers. You want to voucher everything why even bother having the government run these programs?"

They won't understand the irony but it will be there.
