As my parents age, I find myself having to take a more active role in making sure that they are kept healthy. Part of that responsibility includes making sure that they get to their doctor appointments and that there prescriptions are filled when they need to be filled. All of the recent talk I’ve been hearing on the television about how Congress is considering cutting the senior citizens social security benefits and their medicare scares the bejeezus out of me! Most of the senior citizens that I know are not well off financially, and they can’t afford that stupid donut hole situation in their medicare part d.

In my opinion, all senior citizens should get free medical care. No ifs, ands, or buts. For this country to turn it’s back on them is unthinkable and heartless. Congress should cut their own medical benefits before they even think about cutting anyone else’s medical benefits.
