Soon coming to a nursing home near you.

I've heard everything now.

Biography of Ben Carson who grew up to be, Dr. Ben Carson a world famous neurosurgeon at John Hopkins.

Organization care givers with resident customers are finding the movie convenient as a source of voters. It is politics without the direct solicitation.

Republicans have fended off accusations for years that they'd gut Medicare for seniors and end the program "as we know it."

Not Ben Carson. The former neurosurgeon acknowledges he would abolish the program altogether....

Health care savings accounts for people over 65 and those with low income is not realistic when it comes to health care costs. The reason there is Medicare and Medicaid is because it provides care not otherwise pursued, including colds and flu, etc. This is a ridiculous option and getting more ridiculous.

Medicaid provides health care for the Poor and Medicare is a health care insurance for the elderly. Those on Medicare contributed to it most of their working lives. Where does this guy get off telling seniors and the Poor they can do better right now? They can't and everyone knows the Poor need good health care to continue their ambitions to work and end their own poverty.

Health Care Savings Accounts have always been for people that have disposable income. People with low incomes or fixed incomes cannot afford a Health Care Savings Account unless their fixed income per month is substantial.

There is no reason why Democrats can't encourage Health Care Savings Accounts to those that can afford it. If the Dems were telling the truth it would provide a better platform for them and real information of this politicized option. The Health Care Savings Account is built to cover deductibles and co-pays. For some it can carry a cash payment to health care providers, but, that is the exception.
