As they waddle along, waving their signs and listening to talk radio, they look like an heart-attack or a stroke just waiting to happen. The stress of driving their RVs for such a long distance in just one day could have devastating effects.

Let us hope they have what they think they have? God forbid that they would lose their RV or even their homes or life savings if they have a catastrophic illness. They are willing to bet their lives on the good graces of their insurance companies. They are tea baggers. Hear them roar.

1. what's funny is these are same people who are bitching about..........
...the bailout that wall street received last year. Some of these same insurance companies also benefitted from the bailout!!

So by that reasoning, the insurance companies are providing good service to their customers but were somehow unable to even stay afloat in that economy! They managed it so well, they had to get a handout from the govt!

Oops! I forgot.........conservatives don't use reason........

3. They have a good health plan.
It's called Medicare unless they signed their rights over to a Medicare advantage plan. Everybody should have the same plan they do. They don't seem to want this. The fact is that working people are paying for their health care. and they want to deny those same working people access to the health care that they enjoy.

4. I paid for my Medicare for
over 50 years. If Reagan did not start the trend to steal from social security to balance his budget, which he couldn't support, because of his Reaganomics, the money would be there for social security.

Instead of investing the money as it was supposed to have been, presidents couldn't leave all that money piling up. So they took it for other things. Bush was drooling at the mouth when he found out how much money he could have thrown to Wall Street. Good thing they didn't' get it, or social security would surely be broke by now with the bust of the banks and all.

And correct. If bush hadn't have privatized some Medicare and the stupid people weren't led by their noses to take those expensive Advantage PLans there would be more money in SS than there is now.

5. The tea baggers and republicons ignore the stealing of SS/medicare $
surplus when they run out of revenue that tax dollars generate. To bad Johnson started using the SS surplus to pay for the Viet Nam war, that said, I'm sure the cons would have gotten around to using the surplus as a slush fund sooner or later.
