One of the problems I see is the leading wing of the Tea Party is on Medicare, or Tricare, VA. How the heck do you have any credibility when you are on a government program. It was a joke in Arizona with all the Tea Partiers decked out in their red, white, and blue, holding up petitions trying to stop Medicaid when most were on Medicare and maybe even Medicare and Medicaid. Now we have places like Walgreens and Walmart with people in the stores handing out information on the Affordable Care Act. A couple of days ago the local paper in Tucson had an advertising section where the equated ACA with Medicare...both programs were equal...Now the ACA cancer is spreading further...soon it will be like Medicare...then what?? Burn your Medicare card thats all I can say.
