Don't stop there Bob . You are failing to mention in my over 30 years of hard labor to get that benefit I earned ,  I have  used less than one years cost put together , total.  In all those years what I paid in covered other people . I was an insurance companies dream . I paid in and never used it except of only a few occasions.  I'm one of the reasons insurance rates stayed reasonable for so long . Even today I don't use my medical benefits unless there's an emergency.   My beef is that too many people didn't put in the work , yet feel entitled to free medical benefits . Medical benefits aren't a right---they are something to be earned . The bigger problem is we still have nearly half the nation with their hands out expecting / demanding the other 52 percent carry them . Your an adult when you turn 18 . Today's kids are wimps expecting their mom's and dad's to hold their hands until they are 26 . Democrats want to buy votes by giving away stuff paid for by the other 52 percent .
