As a woman who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which is a higher functioning form of autism, seven years ago, I will be getting Medicare benefits added to my Social Security disability in August.

I am concerned about the privatization of Medicare as I worked hard all of my adult life, and I have never had much money.

We met on Sunday, July 9, 2011 at the Blackbird Cafe in Valparaiso, Indiana and will continue to do so.  We are changing course to focus ON the issue of the current budget talks and the debt ceiling vote that is coming up.

A Few Words From FDR Regarding Republicans...

‎"Let me warn you, and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion that says 'Of course we believe these things. We believe in social security. We believe in work for the unemployed. We believe in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all theses things, but we do not like the way the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them. We will do more of them. We will do them better, and most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.'" President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democrat

I remember the time my 70-something mother called me to say she had just awakened and her insides were coming out.

I jokingly asked if her warranty had expired. It turned out to be a prolapsed bladder, and a surgeon made the necessary repairs.

Thank goodness for Medicare.

I tell this story because part of the decade-long debate that led to enacting Medicare — the health insurance program for America’s senior citizens — also had to deal with a challenge, an uncomfortable truth, namely, chronic health problems of an aging population.
