Those Blasted Medicare Commercials! They Never End!


But, they made me think about something. Opinions....please.

What are your thoughts about the wealthy taking benefits they paid into? Most people who have worked outside the home paid into FICA. But, if they are successful and become wealthy should they take/receive those benefits....such as Medicare and Social Security?

As for me, if I had taken a different road in life resulting in wealth, I would relinquish the benefits. The benefits would be chump change for me, but they could be given to someone who is truly needy. I use to deliver “Meals On Wheels” and came across some pitiful situations.

Republicans legalized pharmaceutical and medical commercials over a decade ago.

I get tired of those damned "Prevagen" commercials when watching game shows. In fact, you see all these commercials for medications for elderly, and both dad and I have complained that GayBC seems to think old, sickly, elderly people are the only ones to watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. There's a reason I mute those damned things all the time.

Although the Mesothelioma commercials have inspired my brother to make an interesting joke, hehe:

"If you or a loved ones has died of Mesothelioma, please don't hesitate to call!" (Sounds best with a ridiculously upbeat tone in one's voice).
