Are we coming up on elections, Obama is sending out checks again?
Obama is sending out checks that will cover a small percentage of the funding that his health care bill is shorting our seniors. He knows his bill has a huge shortfall and is handing out donated money. What happens when his buddies pockets run dry? Where will the money come from, when the next generation is ready to collect?

No, you are completely wrong; the checks are not to cover the "funding that his health care bill is shorting our seniors." Actually, just the opposite; it is one of the benefits of the health care bill.
It is to partially cover the Medicare prescription "donut hole," which has been in existence since it began. Seniors get stuck in the donut hole if their prescription drugs cost too much to be paid for through basic Medicare coverage, but aren't expensive enough to qualify for catastrophic coverage.
