Not that it makes any differnence to the health care issue, but the COLA that I was promised has already been modified once under Obama, and will likely be modified again.  I also paid into Medicare. 

But health insurance is not an entitlement by any stretch.  it's  something we all have to pay for or we go without.  I'm not going to feel sorry for people that choose not to buy insurance. 

On then news tonight, they were trying to make a point about the number of elderly that reliant on Medicaid for long term care.  They were interviewing a woman who has been on Medicaid for her to live in a home.  She had children, "but they don't have space for her" and she has no momey.  My mother in law found that when she was paying her way living in assisted living, 20% of the other residents were being paid for by Medicaid.  Is that fair?
