President Obama's most vigorously fought battle was the institution of health care legislation which raided funds destined for older Americans to provide coverage for others. The legislation included the IPAB--the Independent Payment Advisory Board (known popularly as a "death squad" for its capability of denying services to seniors.) Now, it has been discovered that another aspect of "Obamacare" will directly attack older Americans. According to published reports, older Americans with similar health and income histories as their younger counterparts would pay much higher rates for the same coverage.
Never has a Presidential administration been more divisive. Obama has pitted the young against the old, the poor against the middle class, unions against business.
