In reply to the discussion: WTF is wrong with Democrats that want to cut Social Security and/or Medicare? [View all]Red Crow
(8 posts)We have already cut Medicare.We cut 600 plus billions out of Medicare Advantage.Medicare Advantage is a program used by middle and lower middle income seniors.It is not used by the rich................My daughter and her family has lived in the UK for four years.I visit there often.She also lived in Italy where I stayed for long periods of time.Although the English like their alcohol, the country has very strict rules about it's food.A loaf of bread only lasts 3 days in the UK.No preservatives allowed.Rice Krispies or Ovaltine cannot be exported to many northern Eueopean countries because they contain additivesetc etc etc.In the UK (she had a baby there) you HAVE to go to the hospital and doctors in your postal code.The doctors and hospitals in the upscale London postal codes just happen to be the best.Very few lawsuits in the UK compared to US................it is just a different world......................people in the medical profession make a lot less than here ..............one of our biggest challenges is to get the mindset changed about people in that profession making so much money..............perhaps we could completely pay for the education doctors receive.................raise the price of tobacco products to what Canada charges....In Florence Italy you almost never see a really heavy Florentine...............peolpe walk on their safe streets............
