Ten percent of the old folks who benefit from Social Security and Medicare are glad they got theirs, but don't think the poor should be helped with healthcare.

They're the ones who make it so lucrative for politicians to waste trillions of dollars, and thousands of peoples lives pursuing a flawed War on Drugs. Their voting habits have led to the Ryan plan- a political calculation that the reliably elderly vote will accept changes to Medicare so long as it doesn't affect them.
