Sorry Paul Ryan, My Mom Will Live
byStevenJoseph

Last week, I got a call from my brother. He told me that our mother had breast cancer. On Thursday, two days ago, our mother was operated on. They removed the breast cancer and two thirds of the lymph nodes in her right arm. That meant the cancer may have spread. That basically means chemotherapy for my mom, and that really sucks.

However, the surgery and the chemo will give my mom a fighting chance. Furthermore, it is a chance she would never have if there weren't programs like Medicaid and Medicare. You see, without those programs, our family could never pay for all the care she is going to need. With those programs, my mom will probably live years, and, I hope, maybe many years longer. Odds are without these programs, my mother would be gone in a few years.

.......................

I can rejoice that Medicare is still here and so is my mom. Mom, I hope you live many more days and then go to heaven as you believe. I love you Mom.

As for Paul Ryan, well you can rot in hell. In fact, assuming there is a God, I think you probably will.

1. The Nightmare brain worms will eat his very being

In the end he will be reduced to a blathering idiot.

2. clarification

In the interest of intellectual honesty Ryans plan would not actually affect most people on medicare. It would be phased in, which DOES mean that my fiancee could be a financial black hole over medical procedures, but the authors mother and our grandmothers would actually be covered still.

Just don t want anyone to experience a "gotcha" moment with you tea party friends.

and best wishes to this author mother

3. Did the author of the OP post the age of his mother

Spare me - Ryan's plan kills Medicare...PERIOD!
You tell us who gets the gazillions paid into Medicare by all the persons who are now between 18 and 55.

6. Obviously large corporations, the uber-wealthy, and the MIC: that was

so easy. ;) :patriot:

5. It's divide and conquer, next it will be cut Medicare for the geezers with public approval.

Pukes have a long range plan to destroy both Medicare and Social Security and it will be implemented incrementally. When there is push-back they retreat and re-group and start chipping away again, pukes will never quit trying to undermine the New Deal legacy. The cost of freedom and Medicare is constant vigilance.
