Thousands of Seniors today and future Seniors would

die without Mediare and no voucher system can

begin to replace it. I'm a 73 year old who barely survives

on Social Security, Medicare, and $20. week, food

stamps.  Some very kind people have sent me

food, stamps, shampoo and soap or money to buy

them. This country is very generous. We need to be

helping Seniors not speeding up their demise. If we

need more money it should come from ending the

war in Afghanistan, taking the billionairs more,

and not paying oil companies and Wall Street.

I worked hard for years in federal health programs

that would lose funding and then I'd be looking

for another job. I started the first WIC nutrition

program that still feeds thousands of children,

to increase their brain power. I took care of my

parents and then was bedridden with strokes.

I'm better now, but I paid into Medicare, and I need

it. Vote for Senators and Representatives who respect

that. Oh, I don't drink, smoke, nor eat meat.
