They're Retired. They're Insured. The Government Pays for It. And Trump Loves It.

Trump talks Medicare in a retirement enclave where doctors are a golf-cart ride away.

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — It was happy hour on a typical Thursday, and Debi Hahn was twisting and shouting with the rest of the M-T Heads (pronounced: empty heads) at a bar on the main town square. Today, her right hand was wrapped in a purple bandage matching her colorful top.

She and a friend were talking about surgeries, cancer and rising treatment costs, even in a community with a health care model seen as an innovative — and frugal — alternative to traditional Medicare. “I have a lot of squamous cells,” the 67-year-old confided, detailing her string of past, present and future skin cancer treatments and her $95-a-month cost for an experimental chemotherapy cream.

“Cocktails make it better,” said her friend, whose hand was bandaged too.

Welcome to The Villages, one of America’s largest retirement communities, a sprawling Central Florida haven that bills itself as “Florida’s friendliest hometown” and has a vision to become “America’s healthiest.”

Just great, a place that thinks it just great to have this treasonous asshole to come down and have a chat with have's and looking down there noses at the have not's....................................to basically fuck people over.
And if anyone thinks that a vulture capitalists company will not take this away........................go and ask the ambulance companies in this country and find now what percentage is owned by KKR wall street investment firm.....67%........this is not what was envisioned for Medicare...............so these people are forking over $4,000.00 on average to a private insurance program.....................BS

1. Typical MAGA folks.

Selfish, tunnel vision, no thought to the big picture or anyone but themselves.

Also, that all growed up but acting like "spring breakers" lifestyle isn't very healthy.

2. That haven of happiness has an enormous group of alcoholics, so I'm told. n/t

4. a while back I read that STDs

and alcoholism were the main downers of living in the Villages.

From where i live on the coast, I say "let em fuck themselves to death while drunk".

Yeah, I know, that wasn't very nice of me.

3. Takers

Benefited from a union driven economy in the Midwest where most are from. Another factoid is one of the highest STD rates in the country. Fake conservatives
