Mitt, Republicans and Medicare

I went on Medicare yesterday.  You know Medicare – the single-payer healthcare system for America’s senior citizens.  I like Medicare.  I gives me peace of mind – not just because I know I  won’t have to file for bankruptcy if I should someday get really sick and not be able to pay for treatment.  More importantly, I don’t have to worry that someday my kids won’t have to possibly choose between helping me pay for that treatment or helping their kids pay for college.  Mitt Romney and Republicans in Congress want to do away with Medicare as we know it.  They have already voted to approve the Paul Ryan budget in the House of Representatives which does just that.  Fortunately it couldn’t pass the Senate.  But Mitt Romney has said that as President, he would approve the Ryan budget.  If that happens, it’s good-bye Medicare.  I’m not rich enough to live in Mitt Romney’s America.  I hope more people realize that they aren’t rich enough either.
