a call-out of some kind to my post, but regardless, I share your deep-seated concerns over Medicare, Obamacare, Medicaid, and Social Security. That is accompanied by a strong sense of fear--that we will see the poor and seniors without options, and we know what happens to a society when that occurs (massive homelessness, hospitals overwhelmed/underfunded to the point of closing, and a massive increase in suicide rates, as well as incarceration rates for many without jobs or options).

As I stated in my post, my first impression was overwhelmingly negative and I did post that**--but then decided to step back and see who/what/why acted as they did and the implications (including proposed counters from other senior Dems in Senate and Congress--which will come). But, I don't think my post upstream deserved whatever the banned poster chose to say to me, so aI will leave it there.
