Killing Off the Old Folks as Well as the Poor?

Bush to Propose Curbing Growth in Medicare Cost
By ROBERT PEAR
President Bush intends to seek further increases in
premiums for high income people and reduce payments to
hospitals.

..................

It looks as though Bush is on to killing off the old folks -- here as well as in Iraq -- with this latest budget game plan (increase funding of war on Iraq, cut taxes for the rich, cut essential coverage of medical needs for the seniors). Next thing one knows anyone who cannot jog a mile (and cut his swatch of sage brush) will be denied medical care automatically.

And so it goes in Bush's America.
