Average Joe Patriot: Medicare Insurance

Average Joe Patriot

I'm just an average Joe who has read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and most importantly the Bible. Our Greatest Nation began with these documents as our guide. Please educate yourselves by reading them before believing anything that comes out of a politician’s mouth.

With the current gross abuses from our leadership in Washington, I want to share with you what I see as I see it. These abuses have been increasing as we have traveled down the road of history. Without refocusing our goals through the lens of our founding principles, we will surely loose our way.

Make no mistake, a take the side of the American People and the principles which make this country great. I don’t care about partisan politics, fluffy rhetoric to mask the lies from self-serving elitists who have lost their higher calling.

Please do not idly sit by and watch the destruction of our Greatest Nation which has inspired freedom in the midst of darkness for over two centuries. We can have real change, with real results. But it starts with you, the American People who collectively share the legacy of having giving more for our fellow man than any other country in our worlds history.

Medicare Insurance – A Crisis Looms

A crisis looms on the horizon for Medicare Insurance. For years, we’ve been hearing that the Medicare Insurance Fund would run out of money, and the recent economic recession has only worsened the outlook for Medicare.

According to current projections by the trustees responsible for Medicare, the Medicare Hospital Insurance program will run out of money in 2017. When that happens, Medicare will be unable to pay all of its hospital bills.

Making matters worse, Congress plans to use funds from Medicare to pay for health care reform, which will put further pressure on the Medicare Trust Fund.

There are no easy solutions to the Medicare Insurance crisis. One thing is clear, however. Each year that goes by without taking action to solve the problem will only make the solution more painful when it is finally addressed.
