Mike...I want to comment on Medicare. I am hearing that it is the key area of interest of the Ryan folks who want very badly to end it with a mythical program that gives you "wonderful vouchers"......(their goal is to get rid of the 800 pound gorilla cost wise)

Further what I am hearing is that a quicky bill will hit Congress guickly before folks gear up to fight for Medicare and the bill will be time dated for execution...pun intended, for after the midterms....

I strongly suggest that folks be sensitive to these issues and possibilities..NOW.

It's not my intention to worry people unnecessarily but I did work with these programs, have testified on block grant issues for the catholic bishops in CA and have access to political info not widely available......

I am personally very concerned for guys like Buster who may find "his last state worst than his first"....the paradox is that Hillary was well aware of the value of these programs and would have saved them......
