Bad medicine

Middle Village: When candidate Eric Adams first heard about the new city Medicare plan, he recognized that it was not a good plan for retirees and questioned if this was a “bait and switch.” Now, Mayor Adams suddenly loves the plan. And his new opinion comes after reading the new guide which more accurately describes the many shortcomings of the plan, including two pages of procedures that require preauthorization. So why the reversal? Well, his first statement came while he was running for office and he was trying to get votes. Now that he won and is mayor, he realizes that he needs to kiss up to his fellow politicians and union leaders.
