The Affordable Care Act is devastating to seniors

[enlightenment]

78. The poster was very specific.

You are insistent that the conversation needs to shift to a much broader area - the changing face of the NHS. You are attempting to do this by arguing something I said in my last post (that pensioners pay into the system their entire working lives) - which tells me you aren't reading what I wrote - and by shifting your own argument to discuss people who are not living in the UK; something that was never addressed, or ever alluded to by anyone but you. Further, you are moving the discussion to what is going to happen or may happen in the future of the NHS - again, nothing to do with the poster's comment or any attempt on my part to address the poster's comment.

What the poster said is the point of this particular discussion. What they said and how you responded, which is something you are trying to ignore and defend at the same time - a fascinating, but tedious exercise.

I do not disagree that the NHS model is changing; part of it is a necessary retooling and part of it is the sordid manipulations of the current political leadership. However, that really has little to do with what Dipsydoodle said.

That is the bottom line and I'm getting off this merry-go-round now, since it is abundantly clear that you don't want to engage in the original discussion, but the future of the NHS - and that's a topic for the UK group or even a new thread in GD if you choose to start one.
