I do not really care about the ideology. I just think this thing is not going to work and not deliver any benefit to seniors and they are going to lose their choice of doctors by having to join an HMO. It is great to see some of the conservative groups, which I normally do not agree with, are essentially saying the same thing: it is not going to work. It is not going to provide a benefit. Seniors are going to be forced out of their traditional Medicare.
