5. Who do the Supremes work for?

Citizens or Insurance companies. I just had a colonoscopy yesterday and they removed 3 polyps. I have to redo this in 2 years because of the risk factor in my family. I am tired of Congress taking away my healthcare needs when I just got Medicare 6 months ago! Come on. I have a cataract that is forming and they don't even cover some of those treatments. And the cost of 2 pairs of glasses, one sunglasses was well over 450 bucks! And they aren't fancy ones either, they are lined bifocals that fit my face. I also need hearing aids as my risk factor for deafness is also coming of age.

This is life and death stuff. If I can't see, I can't live. If I have colon cancer, I can't pay anymore taxes. I've paid into Medicare and Social Security since 1976. I want my healthcare finally. 49 years I've paid for healthcare for someone else and now they want to take it away? Let me just say, over my dead body.
