I did as soon as I found out what we were going to get.
CJ writing to AARP isn't going to anything either other than generate another article that won't do anything. The heads of AARP are also the presidents, CEO's and other higher ups in the pharmaceutical companies world. The government employees that are supposed to be ensuring our rights are getting kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies just like doctor's are, so nothing will get done with that avenue either, in my opinion.

You needless to say don't comprehend what he substitute into speaking approximately. Medicare benefit is a plan that would not supply human beings from now on than extensive-unfold Medicare. It in basic terms will pay coverage companies to grant human beings the comparable care the government does extra fee-effective. it is between the sleaziest company giveaways in American historic previous, and between the Bush administration's many low factors. do away with it, and seniors will nevertheless get precisely the comparable reward, on an identical time as the taxpayer will shop. the only human beings who will lose out are the sleazy coverage companies.

Sorry. I'm too busy trying to figure out why the Congress considers 85% of my Social Security check to be taxable income because I receive a military retirement check.

Mr. Ed - this is on my to do list - doubt anything will come of it - did you write to AARP about it? CJ
For those of you who have not earned it - i.e.those under 62, Mr. Ed is referring to the COLA increase in Social Security for 2008 - and the military personnel also get the same increase in their "retirement" checks. Usually both pay the same %age! CJ

I asked several months ago what I was going to do with my staggering 18 dollar raise after the apt complex took 35% of it, sorta looks like a snack bag of chips and a 6 pack. Congressmen couldn't care less look at the raises they give themselves each year and they don't pay SS taxes.
