Letters: Middle class mustn’t tolerate Medicare cuts

Once again we hear that Medicare soon will run out of money; a representative of the president indicated that premiums may have to be increased or services reduced in a few years. You never hear that Medicaid, welfare, food stamps, Obamacare and other government-giveaway programs run out of money.

Middle-class Americans are the hard-working, self-respecting, responsible people who have made this country great. They make up a majority of the the people on Medicare. After working hard and retiring, they are coerced and at times forced into signing up for Medicare, sometimes resulting in higher premiums, and shrinking coverage makes them carry supplemental insurance to make up the difference.

Middle-income Americans need to rise up and say “enough is enough” and demand a change. If they do not, they will soon disappear, there will be no one left to fund the voracious appetite of the federal government, and America the country of greatness will be no more.
