Wonko, Thanks for this notice. Given the average age of members here, lots of us need to know this.

This decision to remove sensitive personal information from Medicare Cards should do a lot to prevent upwards of 20 million illegal aliens and other criminals from engaging in Medicare Fraud, identity theft, and theft of medical services.

It's nice to see that Dr. Wanker and rocky mtn bill are finally beginning to appreciate the positive things that are happening as a result of Donald trump being elected. Making America Great Again... after the Liberal Democrat disaster!

Trump is good for preserving our 2nd Amendment too... to get this off topic subject at least a teeny bit shotgun oriented.

'He 's now president for life. President for life (referring to Chinese leader). No, he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day.'

My hope for Trump is that the worse it gets, the sooner it will end.He is an embarrassment and a jerk. He isn't fit to polish Obama's shoes.

Well Bill, I hope that you consider yourself a bit more than just fit to do menial tasks for your idol.

Keith, Do you actually believe that Trump had any thing to do with the notice that Wonko drew attention to? Trump can't even pay attention to his daily briefings let alone some minor detail about Medicare. Craig, I have no need to do even menial tasks for Obama. He's not President now, just in case you hadn't noted. A question: why would you post such a stupid comment? Perhaps because you don't know any better than to vote for a caricature of a President.

Me? Stupid comment?

You gotta admit, at least I made a half baked effort at snipping off the worst of your comments, well the first time anyway. I know exactly how you feel, it just surprises me knowing that you come from the forum cop/moderator point of view.

If I were voting for a caricature, barak would'a had my vote three times. But, I vote, and never miss one, based on the issues. I'm proud to say I vote in your best interest, regardless of your level of appreciation. You're not worthy of that Trump in '20 sticker on your volt. Ooops, the President is playing me and I'm losing the struggle.

Craig, I'm curious to know what a forum cop/moderator might be. Please explain to an old man who doesn't spend time on right wing talk show palaver. I still haven't figured out what a snowflake is.

Bill, a snowflake is when you take an all American, red, white and blue blue boy and run him through our education system. He comes out the other end pissing and moaning about how he thinks he's girl and might break a nail.
