Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid

Open email to Sen. Cornyn (Texas)

Dear Sen. Cornyn,
    Thank you for your form letter on reforming Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
    I do not recall having contacted you previously on this subject.
    However, we agree that it is of utmost importance.
    The prime difficulty in addressing these items of concern is that we get wrapped up in miscellaneous detail.
    With respect to Social Security, the obvious answer is to increase the retirement age to be consistent with the longevity increase of workers.
    The Medicare problem can be solved by eliminating Obamacare and increasing the co-pay of individuals so that they have more incentive to shop for service at reasonable cost.
     Medicaid requires a change in attitude. That is to primarily understand it is a welfare operation and should be reduced to second-class service. This would give recipients an incentive to get off the program.
