No! First and foremost, this is a moral issue that no moral American can duck or equivocate about. To all seniors opposed to reform of our most unjust scheme on the bemoaning cry "But what's going to happen to my Medicare coverage?" I suggest that no more shameful, self-centered pleas have ever been uttered in human history.

In the time that it has taken to read this one American has already needlessly died.
