Our Health insurance that we pay dearly for is an pales in comparison to MN Care.
That said, my parents now once again (this time of the year) fall into the "doughnut hole" created by Bush and the pharmaceutical companys. My 76 yr old mothers medications are mind numbingly expensive. It saddens me to see hard working people like my parents being screwed over by a system they have spent their whole lives paying into. I also have sympathy for others that have been screwed over by a system that has created generational "poverty" and entitlements to perpetuate it.
"Our" generous social programs have been more instrumental in destroying generations that helping them I fear. It's a win/win for them (politicians). It allows them to wave the banner of compassion and at the same time, lock in votes by a constituency that has no other recourse than to vote handout.
They will have us all there eventually. With the exception of the money and power elite of course. Contrary to popular opinion here, the money and power elite reside on both sides of the tarnished coin.
