Monica I just finished our taxes a few hours ago and it is clear to me that at 78 and 81 our taxes are all about health care...

We have two vital drug requirements that are so large that we've gone through that doughnut hole...swiftly, and our primary and extensive expenses are medically related and that's WITH Medicare...for which we paid our entire working careers....a surgery recently and two more, spine and knee in a few months...we carry several medical insurance deals including payment for Part B and D of Medicare.....

From a strategic point of view think Social Security and Medicare are the "third rail of politics" ...it would have been far better to have chosen Single Payer as the rest of the developed world did a long time ago.
