You are correct.  It is Medicare.  However, your attempt to sully Medicaid by calling it welfare is not working.  In the long run, if we, the USA, can figure out single payer then nearly everyone will be paying and benefitting - and it will save money in the end.  If that is welfare I am all for it.  I am sick and tired of paying high insurance due to high medical bills for those who do not have insurance and take their preventable medical issues to the emergency room because they are too cheap or poor to by insurance.  It is Responsibility in the end - kind of a right wing credo, right?

Happy Friday!
