@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Dems should abstain for four years. Let Trump run amok.
@kausmickey Would we stillbe forced to join Medicare at 55?
@kausmickey they can win any debate about changing Medicare, but it won’t matter if the bill is passed in a week

@kausmickey We can’t ever retire, because we can’t get the “protestors” generation to GET A FREAKIN JOB
@kausmickey I really hope that “wall” your boy Trump is gonna build is worth the end of Medicare as we know it, Mickey.
@jonathanchait @kausmickey It’s amazing to see the GOP get in a huge hurry when they’re trying to screw everyone over to avoid debate.
@beckypike34 @kausmickey yawn
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn This Huff Post article lacks any facts. Its all speculation. Imagine that.
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn why do that. It would break the system much faster. Just let these Cons offer to change it. 1/2
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn Gaurantee that any changes will cause their stupid voters to cry foul.
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Lowering Medicare age to 55 would be catastrophic. System would collapse quickly.
@kausmickey This assumes Dems still care about medicare. No identity politics are involved so not an issue for present day Dems
@PseudonymousRex @kausmickey Don’t cry. You can always immigrate to Mexico and use their Medicare. Mexicans build world class entitlements.
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Because that would flood Medicare with new patients and kill it
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol because they are all idiots and cannot recognize an opportunity if it bit them?
@beckypike34 @kausmickey
That’s because you have run up a humongous national debt you moochers
@nichole9099 @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol
Not true, younger is generally healthier
@nichole9099 @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Like Canada’s Medicare collapses?
@michaeloh59 @PseudonymousRex @kausmickey Mexican health care is really excellent.
@SpeakingBee @PseudonymousRex @kausmickey yeah…….no. Speaking from personal experience Mexican dentistry leaves much to be desired.
@kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn there’s no money for it, and their voters are more likely on medicaid
@beckypike34 @kausmickey Youbdo realize unemployment is at a nearly record low of 4.9%, right? Don’t let the facts get in your way, genius.
@soundhealthykev @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Yes, but you’d be covering an age group not currently eligible.
@soundhealthykev @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Already 10k people a day aging into Medicare with current standards.
@SpeakingBee @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol That comparison is Apples to Oranges.
@SpeakingBee @kausmickey @jonathanchait @CitizenCohn @HuffPostPol Also 2 be clear,Canada is not the gold standard. https://t.co/yOjz9LZKAs
