I never cried about the taxes I paid in the 90's. Know who did? RepublicansGood thing you won't be paying for insurance, since you'll now need the money to pay for your new tax bill.
everyone needsKeep Medicare for the senior citizens. Young folks don't need it.
Stop drinking the coolaid bro! Have a serious conversation.The only thing Dimocrats "care" about, is getting you drunk on their government programs. This is how they will be controlling your life!
So do I
Yep, damaged care.Humana?
LOL
One of the top 5 private healthcare companies in the nation with a 94% rating on Medicare and Medicaid programs with a 4 star rating or higher -- 61% in a 4.5 or higher rating and an average star rating of 4.4. Thank you
I bet you're glad you did retire. I decided to stay one more year and now rethinking that as all the MAPD companies are changing or dumping some of their plans for 2025. I in the process of calling many clients and telling them they're going to receive a letter early next month informing them of changes and that they would have to make another election for next year instead of just letting it roll over. I can't explain anything else yet, as you well know and if I could I do not know the summary of benefits in the plan they will probably pick.This no longer happens dip shit. I retired from Health Insurance.
The funny thing is American immigrants to countries with 'socialised health systems' love it. One of the things they comment about most.Pay for your own healthcare like the rest of us.
Swim to CUBASo do I
What's "wrong" about someone having no money? Things happen to all of us, and there are programs in place to help folks get back on their feet.....as long as they want to.
Not my job to fund them forever.
For the Dems, Medicare = Single Payer. Shitty idea.
Expand the Medicare - Medicare Supplement - Medicare Advantage system to all, with some tweaks. Government & Free Market Capitalism working together to innovate. Provider contracts would have to change. Networks would have to be patched up. We need to upgrade the billing system (again). Age-band it so it costs less. Maybe means test it.
Our "system" right now -- whether it's the ACA or the even shittier mess we had before -- is a bad joke. This is what happens when the two parties are too childish and afraid to collaborate and innovate.

I'll be danged - Republicans may have it right on a health system!
I've been saying since I've been here that our (a) our health care "system" is insane, and (b) the ACA is a stupid pig of a law. Plenty of examples of those posts upon request. Then I point out that the Democrats were lying about "Medicare for All", when what they REALLY want is Single Payer...www.usmessageboard.com
Instead of squandering hundreds of billions of dollars, our useless politicians could have given us a cheap, socialized healthcare plan; alongside with the standard healthcare we have in America. (The rich don't want socialized healthcare and the average person can't afford the system we have...so we need 2 systems.) People that can't afford America's unaffordable healthcare could get their appendix out before it bursts.
If they need a heart transplant, then go work 3 jobs and save up for 6 years to pay for it. The socialized plan would be for basics to keep it viable. But the American healthcare system is so greedy they don't want to lose a penny and would never accept a 2nd option. Plus, our politicians are absolute nincompoops and could never run a socialized healthcare system anyway.

Works in all the developed nations where for profit health is not such a thing.So you believe healthcare cost is suddenly going to drop if the government is paying for it all?
Countries with government funded universal healthcare spend a fraction of the money American spend on healthcare.
In addition to being substantially cheaper than your for-profit system, life expectancy in the USA is declining well life expectancy in the rest of the world continues to rise.
As is so often the case, American pay MORE for everything when the for profit people get involved and get less in return.
Cancer and heart surgery is a LOT more expensive than a cheeseburgerSo?
Everyone needs food too.
So what?
everyone cries about taxes bobo....and how old were you then?...I never cried about the taxes I paid in the 90's. Know who did? Republicans
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.
"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.
Do you know who else would have been great presidents? Gore and Hillary
I was never refused any treatment that my GP deemed necessary. There is plenty of research done in those countries. meds are the same, subject to approvals. The pharmaceutical lobby is not as prevalent. Our agencies tend to take more time before approving drugs. Number of doctors is largely a negotiation between the medical boards and the provinces. Wait times are determined by urgency of care.Rationing, no research, old meds, less equipment, fewer doctors and long waits are cheaper.
