Mr. John Stossel,

I guess you are not a senior citizen because if you were you would not put in your editorial about seniors getting Medicare FREE. For you an people like you, my wife and I do not get Medicare FREE. We pay over $2400.00 a year plus whatever Medicare doesn't cover. Also, with prescription drugs it is over $5,ooo.oo a year out of pocket.
So don't sit behind desk and suggest that we seniors get Medicare or Prescription Drugs FREE.

I don't care where the money goes but it is not FREE to us. We did not have a choice as we had work insurance when we retired but had to give that up when we became age 65. Just don't make it sound like seniors want it for it being FREE, nothing in this world is FREE.

You make enough that when you retire you won't have to depend on Medicare like most seniors do.

I believe you owe an apology to all seniors for your ignorant comments.

Dear John Stossel, Thanks for your article. Healthcare should be left alone. 'PAY AS YOU GO' is the only way to cut the 'billions in waste' and put an end to the 'politics as usual games they contiue to play!
Obama doesn't mention drug and Insurance companies are still giving billions
to politicians! Shouldn't this tell you why you can't buy medicines and
insurance? Obama wants Taxpayers to think 'that people without healthcare
will have insurance if politicians proceed with Healthcare plans, take money
from the working, and 'redistributing to the illegitimates' - the
illegitimate terrorists that Taxpayers have been made to support for
decades. This shouldn't be Americas' responsibility! Redistributing wealth
isn't the answer! Raising taxes on highest income earners who are private
business owners won't create jobs, just finish bankrupting America!

Taxpayers, of all party affiliations and races, should put an end to 'social
and welfare programs'.One year after the Wall Street disasters, Business Owners say nothing will
be the same. More businesses are going under, due to politicians' greed. Few
companies left must cut jobs, salaries, hours, and benefits! In the end,
will probably close!

Doesn't it concern Taxpayers, the few that have a job, at present, that politicians aren't trying to bring back textile and furniture companies back? With the stroke of their high-dollar pens, they could eliminate Nafta and Cafta!

Obama stated, many times-I quote 'we're not going to touch Social Security
or Medicare, we're going to cut waste from social and welfare programs!' If
Obama or any politician wants Taxpayers to believe this rhetoric, we have an
ocean in Arizona Desert, we'll sell them!

Obamas' constant statements 'the deficits he inherited' makes Taxpayers
wonder why his 'Change you an believe in' isn't working for anyone except
him and other politicians? Obamas' latest words to $1.38 trillion deficit -
I'm quoting "we'll move forcefully to get deficits under control ONCE the
nations' recession has ended!" Really? His extravagant spending habits aren't
going to end and neither is recession until Taxpayers hand out pink slips!
Obama doesn't mention drug and Insurance companies are still giving billions
to politicians! Shouldn't this tell you why you can't buy medicines and
insurance? Obama wants Taxpayers to think 'that people without healthcare
will have insurance if politicians proceed with Healthcare plans, take money
from the working, and 'redistributing to the illegitimates' - the
illegitimate terrorists that Taxpayers have been made to support for
decades. This shouldn't be Americas' responsibility! Redistributing wealth
isn't the answer! Raising taxes on highest income earners who are private
business owners won't create jobs, just finish bankrupting America!
Taxpayers, of all party affiliations and races, should put an end to 'social
and welfare programs'.
The 'freebies', illegitimates and the politicians have been receiving for years, is going to have to come to a screeching halt! 'AIN'T NO MONEY - BORROWING TRILLIONS, WITHOUT TAXPAYERS CONSENT, JUST TO CONTINUE A CERTAIN LIFESTYLE IS FAR WORSE THAN THE BERNIE MADOFF'S OF THIS WORLD!'
WAKE UP, AMERICA!
