It costs them a lot of money, but so does ours.Celia Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733639730157569439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-83430456664615465172009-09-09T19:38:05.921-08:002009-09-09T19:38:05.921-08:00'At the same time, can't we introduce volu...'At the same time, can't we introduce voluntary features that would permit a citizen who can do better on his own to be excused upon presentation of evidence that he had made provision for the non-earning years? Should we not allow a widow with children to work, and not lose the benefits supposedly paid for by her deceased husband? Shouldn't you and I be allowed to declare who our beneficiaries will be under this program, which we cannot do? I think we're for telling our senior citizens that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds. But I think we're against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program, especially when we have such examples, as was announced last week, when France admitted that their Medicare program is now bankrupt. They've come to the end of the road.'<br /><br /><br />That's the whole paragraph from the 1964 speech that this segment was taken from.Word Jugglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031210741931388308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-27257849672846543982009-09-09T15:57:03.862-08:002009-09-09T15:57:03.862-08:00nswfm CA said...from a readability standpoint, oth...nswfm CA said...from a readability standpoint, others have asked for you to change the background and the type colors to make it easier to read.<br /><br />I hadn't gotten any complaints yet, but was expecting that I might. Sorry it was hard for some to read. I will experiment with different colors. I love Pink and for years would not wear any other color. I had a pink bedroom and pink living room furniture. A coworker told me she couldn't stay in my house because she thought she was going to throw up once. Please let me know if the changes work.

He had scars all over his body from being tortured, which is probably why he was mentally ill. He didn't like to talk about it, but when he did it was horrifying.Celia Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733639730157569439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467799234602390052.post-52645975128173737622009-09-09T12:38:10.590-08:002009-09-09T12:38:10.590-08:00I remember those days, too, also having worked in ...I remember those days, too, also having worked in the health care industry. <br /><br />I wonder if Reagan got the idea from Fidel Castro, i.e., the Mariel boatlift (1980)?
