Yeah, see that’s the part I’ve got a real problem with. I’m willing to chip in what is a relative pittance, to help out the old, sick, & infirm. It’d be nice if it was there for me when I got there, but I’m hoping not to have to ever find out. When that $$ is taken out of my checks, or when I’m self-employed and I pay voluntarily- I’m paying it SPECIFICALLY for MEDICAID. Not so the gov’t can raid the fund to do… whatever it is that the gov’t does. (bail out their banker friends, whatever).
This is a non-partisan post. Heck, it’s an anti-partisan post. The ass-end’s of crooks & liars fill most seats on both sides of the aisle.
