@comicnut, seniors currently have a little insulation from the insurance companies due to Medicare, though granted it has its limits. But the idea advanced by some that letting the government make health care decisions about what gets paid for is somehow worse than letting the insurance companies make those decisions strikes me as absurd, especially when the goal of insurance companies is to profit from those decisions.
@agent.007, I wasn’t defending Obama but I don’t recall hearing that he wants to privatize Medicare.
All the more reason to speak up, Melvin - especially with so much talk in Congress about replacing Medicare by putting seniors at the dubious mercy of the health insurance companies.
Congratulations, Richard! I get more laughs from your strip over the course of a week than all of the others I read combined.
