You didn't put in all that hard work and education so that someone else would pay for your health care coverage, did you?You're paying for the freeloaders when you make your premium payments. You're paying for freeloaders when you go to the ER. You're paying for the freeloaders when you buy meds. You're even paying for the freeloaders if you pay cash.People who have Medicare love it. And they love the choices they have when they shop for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans from a nice, wide range of insurers who are competing and innovating for their business.So after 4 years of undergrad, 1.5 years of grad school, and 20 years with the company, they can just dump my ass into Medicare?
Well that's just fucking great, so once again I get to pay for other people's coverage by having my own fucked up.
THAT WAS THE END RESULT OF FUCKING OBAMACARE!!!!
.
because they are old and it's the only game in town. and I'm sure the looove Medicare when it tries to take a house away from a family to cover the costs of an older relative's long term care....
Now try that with people in their prime, people who get injuries from active sports and such, people with terminal diseases that are in the prime of their lives and may not be as willing as an older person to "let nature take its course", and see how it works out....
and you didn't actually answer my problem with it. I played the game by the rules, and now I am going to be squished into the masses, made up of some people who made terrible life choices, and will now be getting a pass for them. Same as Obamacare, same as the $15 minimum wage, same as welfare.
And people wonder why we got Trump.....who I hope isn't really considering this.
It's all built in to the cost of health care.
.
But with this idea the freeloaders get taken care of right out of the box, and that basically creates an incentive for their bad behavior.
And in this case, I lose what I worked for, employer subsidized medical coverage, and get thrown in with everyone, so all my hard work and education basically means nothing.
.
it was part of the package. I went into Engineering, and part of the deal was high pay and good benefits for the 17.5 years of education, the license I had to acquire, and the continuing education I have to keep doing to keep said license. I worked hard, studied hard, played by the rules, and now you want government to take some of the things I worked for just to let some idiots get the same thing for zero work towards it? Yes, some blameless people will be helped, but a lot of those idiots who never went to class, never cared about the future, and now whine about it will be helped as well, and how is that fucking fair?
