After wading through all the confusing data concerning the new Medicare prescription drug plan, I am convinced that this plan is a plot by the federal government to cause the premature demise of many Medicare and Social Security beneficiaries.

This will be accomplished by raising the stress levels in many seniors who are trying to deal with the details of this plan. The increased stress will probably result in more strokes, heart attacks and suicides for the “Golden Years” folks.

The Bush administration is anti-Medicare and Social Security anyway, so what better way to cut back on those programs than to have a lot of folks pass away while trying to figure out what is best for them.
