Medicare
Today marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of Medicare. For some, that’s a day to celebrate the existence of Medicare; for others, it’s a day to argue all the more vociferously against ‘entitlements’ such as Medicare. Which do you choose today? And does your choice have to do with receiving Medicare, and would you refuse it if you don’t believe in it (Ayn Rand chose to accept Medicare after arguing against it).
I believe an “all powerful” nation owes something to it’s most vulnerable. The poor, children, animals, and the elderly. If not, than what have we become?
