Frank Lee said, "The impoverished- mainly seniors, right?- often spend so much on health care and meds it squeezes necessities out."

Actually seniors are the wealthiest age group in the US with 47 TIMES (not 47%) the average net worth of those households headed by somebody under 35.Old Americans are 47 times richer than young - Nov. 7, 2011
And then they, who can most afford and who most use the healthcare system push politicians to create a program to make those households with 1/47th the wealth who are using the system much less, subsidize their cost.
