How to destroy the republicans, baby boomer edition

Show them in hard numbers what will happen to premiums on their health ins if O care is eliminated AND you can't deduct Med expenses. I swear, the right wants all of us 55+ to just die.

Sorry for mistakes and edits, doing this on my phone on a city bus to work

Lower Medicare eligibility to 55.

This would lower premiums dramatically for those younger by removing the 55 to 65 group from private insurance pools who, let's face it, have more costly health issues.

I'm afraid the only way out of this mess is for those who caused it to suffer for it. They are so far gone from reality that mere facts won't cut it. Maybe if they see the pain first hand, they will finally get it.

Unfortunately the rest of us have to suffer for it too.
