Thank you US Senate from Doctors, Elderly and Disabled.. What no Reach Around??

I personally would like to thank Congress for not havintg the balls to stand up to corporate America and allow the amount of payments for medical services for our elderly and disabled to be cut by 10.6% effective July 1, 2008. Thanks to your foresight and strong fiscal responsibility many doctors in the US will choose not to take Medicare patients as the reimbursement is already too low and the decrease will make it extremely difficult for many to stay in practice if they have a large majority of patients on Medicare. So my friends if you think it's hard to find a Doctor now just wait to see what's on the horizon. If you'd like to blame anyone specific here are the names of the senators who chose to tell America's Seniors and Disabled as well as their doctors that they don't matter.Vote, state, Name, PartyNay AL Sessions, Jefferson [R] Nay AL Shelby, Richard [R Nay AZ Kyl, Jon [R] No Vote AZ McCain, John [R] (And this man wants to be your President!)Nay CO Allard, Wayne [R] Nay FL Martinez, Mel [R] Nay GA Chambliss, C.[R] Nay GA Isakson, John [R] Nay ID Craig, Larry [R] Nay ID Crapo, Michael [R] Nay IN Lugar, Richard [R] Nay IA Grassley, Charles [R] Nay KS Brownback, Samuel [R] Nay KY Bunning, Jim [R] Nay KY McConnell, Mitch [R] Nay LA Vitter, David [R] Nay MS Cochran, Thad [R] Nay MS Wicker, Roger [R] Nay MO Bond, Christopher [R] Nay NE Hagel, Charles [R] Nay NV Ensign, John [R] Nay NV Reid, Harry [D] Nay NH Gregg, Judd [R] Nay NH Sununu, John [R] Nay NM Domenici, Pete [R] Nay NC Burr, Richard [R] Nay OK Coburn, Thomas [R] Nay OK Inhofe, James [R] Nay PA Specter, Arlen [R] Nay SC DeMint, Jim [R] Nay SC Graham, Lindsey [R] Nay SD Thune, John [R] Nay TN Alexander, Lamar [R] Nay TN Corker, Bob [R] Nay TX Cornyn, John [R] Nay TX Hutchison, Kay [R] Nay UT Bennett, Robert [R] Nay UT Hatch, Orrin [R] Nay VA Warner, John [R] Nay WY Barrasso, John [R] Nay WY Enzi, Michael [R] This data came from the following site: http://www. govtrack. us/congress/vote. xpd?vote=s2008-160These people don't care about Medicare because they'll never have to use it. All they have to do is serve one term and they have health coverage for life. Our Servicemembers don't get as good of a health benefit as these losers do. Just remember that you too will someday need to use Medicare and there won't be any money left because all of it was cut off and the funds were diverted to the war so that Blackwater and Halliburton with their no-bid contracts can continue their outrageous profits from the war while our servicemen and women in the field do without. Yet people try to blame the Democrats for the lack of funding for the troops. Look at it again my friends. We've been swindled by the very people we elected to take care of our homeland and our citizens.

WHY? WHY? WHY!!!?????

Can someone anyone in this community tell me why are seniors on a limited income are paying between the equivalent of a mortgage on a three bedroom house for an efficiency apartment in an asssited living facility with no night nurse coverage and poor quality food?

CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS????? I take back what I said about this community taking care of it's seniors.. This is deplorable who is in charge and why are they allowing this to happen? Is the mortgage on the property so high that they have to pass that on to the residents (If so who's the profit mongering property owner?). Is the management so bad that they cannot keep staff on board? Is the Board that oversees the management so bad that they can't keep good management??

Someone answer these questions please?

It's not right!! You know it and I know it now someone answer the questions and fix it!!!
