Can anyone forward a medicare opt-out form for all of the
repubs I encounter over the next few days so I can allow them the opportunity to get govt out of their healthcare?

2. Make up your own.
"Since I am against government run healthcare, I hereby opt out of Medicare.

Signed:_________________

It will fit on a business card. Makes it easy to hand out. On the other side you can put: "Either sign this or STFU"

3. Cut The Fat Starting Here
Why should WE,Tomas taxpayer, have to pay for THEIR healthcare when they don't feel WE should get it at all? While they want the minimum wage population to stay down will they give themselves another raise? Many of them do not even need their political "gov't" wage will they ever NOT take their paycheck(earned or not)? They need to live on that edge that so many live on today. Todays worker can lose their job overnight for no reason. They need to live in that nightmarish uncertainty every day of their working lives. They need to know what it feels like to be one paycheck away from living in a tent. If they are just like WE are then they should start living as we do.
We shall have to see where they start cutting the fat. Outside of repealing the estate tax and giving the top 2/3% more tax breaks where will they strike? Medicare? Medicaid? Social Security? Any or all of those pesky entitlement programs. Why is it they never consider what THEY get as entitlements??????????

5. Let them. Then don't let them opt back in no matter how desperate they get.
There's only one cure for that level of stupid.

6. Glad to see you support choice
Not sure those systems could survive as-is without all of those funds, or that people favoring choice are stupid, but at least it wouldn't be such a divider of the people anymore.
