Many people are worried and concerned about the changes coming to our healthcare system. The town hall meetings continue with fierce debate on all sides. At last there is a voice of reason and I am happy to thank Representative Tom Price for his blunt words on the subject.

The Baby Boomers are a huge population in the American economy. In 2011 the first of the 78 million baby boomers will be turning 65 and with it will be eligible for Medicare. This population will continue to grow for the next 20 years due to the population growth in the years following World War II. By 2030, this population will be 71.5 million people over the age of 65. This number is a massive 20 percent of the population.

In view of this information is it unbelievable that the Obama Administration could possibly believe that Americans would favor cuts to eliminate many Medicare provisions. It is also foolish to believe that these senior citizens who have worked all their lives and contributed in good times and bad times to this economy would be willing to accept the current attempt to marginalize their lives and make them feel as if it is time to get out of the way for a new generation.

These people are not stupid and they are seeking information about the proposed program. So far they do not like what they see. If the Democratic Majority insist on going it alone against the expressed wish of these older Americans they will pay for it in the coming elections.
