    I don’t need “Medicare for all”. I have a job. That job has a HMO that I use. I’m happy with my HMO. It could be better but everything could be better. I don’t want government healthcare if I have to pay more taxes so someone else can benefit from my hard earned money.
  • Dude it's not free it's illegal in America you're on a very thin line exposing yourself as being the socialist crazy person 😂

    It's no problem getting back on traditional Medicare from an Advantage plan. But getting a Supplement to go with that traditional Medicare can be a problem, as in many cases the person will be subject to medical underwriting for the Supplement, and can be denied. You need a Supplement if you go the traditional Medicare route, because with Medicare alone the patient has to pay 20% of their medical bills out of pocket after paying their deductible, with no cap. So the sky is the limit on out of pocket cost exposure with just Medicare alone. And Medicare doesn't cover prescription drugs, either. You have to get a Part D drug plan from a private company, to cover prescriptions.
  • Oh hell no. After the federal and state response to the Plandemic, Id rather pay out of pocket to the corrupt insurance companies than the corrupt government. You think you'd have a say so in your health decisions with universal healthcare? Did you see what they did in Canada and Israel?
