The Comptroller General of the United States proclaims that our current standard of living is unsustainable unless drastic action is taken. He warns that funding shortfalls for the Medicare program are five times worse than Social Security, and it will take $8 TRILLION to pay for what is promised today to beneficiaries, of which we have ZERO! This unrealistic "promise" is fiscally irresponsible and is mortgaging the futures of our children and grandchildren. Watch as the federal government‘s dirty little secret is revealed!
When Medicare was introduced by President Johnson in 1965, it was a classic example of the devastating complications that can result from well-intentioned government intervention in our health care system. Now, more than 40 years later, it has become clear that Medicare is a prescription for financial disaster.
The Medicare drug bill passed in 2003 was initially projected to cost $400 billion over a ten-year period. In a recent article I pointed out it was closer to $1.5 trillion, and here we have David Walker, the U.S. Comptroller General, stating it’s going to take some $8 TRILLION to pay for what’s promised!
I hope he succeeds in his “fiscal wake-up tour” around the country. “We suffer from a fiscal cancer,” he says. Indeed! And who benefits when there’s cancer? Whether the cancer is physical or figurative, pharmaceutical companies are the ones who come out on top, making obscene profits.
As of January 1, 2008, 78 million American “Baby Boomers” will become pensioners and medical dependents, unleashing a tsunami of spending for which America is not prepared.
Personally, I have never been involved with the Medicare system and have never filed a claim with them in over 20 years of practice. I don’t have any intentions on using the system, and fully believe in keeping my body healthy through leading a naturally healthy lifestyle.
This is also an option for you. My best prescription for beating these alarming numbers is to get healthy as soon as you can. There are a number of basic strategies you can take, and they’re easily remembered as the acronym of my name.
Following these guidelines will be a powerful way to avoid premature aging and improve your health.

The only way to stay healthy is to not let the doctors get a hold of you. For years, every time I got the slightest cold or pimple, the doctors would give me antibiotics like they were candy, just to shut me up. I was young and ignorant and just took the medicine. Little did I know back then (20-30 years ago) what it would add up to in health problems. So when I hit my 30s, I developed colon disorders (bleeding, etc.) and they gave me sulfasalazine (they also did not give me blood tests, as required, to monitor for problems). The sulfasalazine did get rid of my bleeding, but low and behold, I developed autoimmune hemolytic anemia. For the anemia, I finally put my foot down and would not let them remove my spleen. But after a year of see-sawing blood counts, I finally agreed to the prednisone. I’ve been on it 9 years now and haven’t been able to wean off yet. I kept see-sawing on the blood counts and had to increase the medicine every time I had weaned down a bit. And what did I get for the prednisone? Shingles so bad I had the rashes and pain for months (and still have the scars), with impetigo on top of the shingles (the doctors couldn’t figure out what I had with both together); cataracts in both eyes (in my early 40s); and gallstones. Then I had to have my gallbladder removed they were so bad. But here’s the light at the end of the tunnel! I found something that has finally made me feel that I can get over all these problems. My blood count is improving, I’m reducing the prednisone, and I haven’t had this much energy in 9 years with no relapse in 6 months! If interested, email me at cpccat@hotmail.com for info. But besides that, the basic moral to my story is to be your own doctor! Do as much research as you can. Use the doctors as your consultants. Get their “opinions” and do your research on their recommendations. Do not take medicines unless there is no other option. Do not let the doctors "PRACTICE" on you!
The video explaining the computer-aided theft of veterans' benefits (and more) is in one piece via google:

It doesn't take much imagination to see how this theft system could be applied well beyond the VA.
Hi Chuck, previous to Jan. 06, our former liberal government was knee deep in sponsorship scandals (some are still going to trial as we speak). Canadians were so sick of the government lining their friends pockets with envelopes of cash, that we voted in the conservatives. One of the first things that the conservatives did was pass the Accountability Act. They also banned politicians from becoming lobbyists for 5 years after leaving office. On a side note, The Clarity Act which is so proudly touted as being something the liberals brought in, was actually written by PM Stephen Harper (conservative).
