This whole mess needs reorganization. I have just found out, after paying into Medicare for 50 years, that my combined Medicare part A and part B, supplemental insurance and part D to cover my pharmaceutical needs, will come to more than we are paying out for my part of our medical insurance through my husband’s employer. THIS HAS TO STOP! We have paid into Medicare for decades and Obama raided the Medicare pot to prop up Obamacare. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WERE PROMISED! Kill the beast and get us back to medical that we can actually afford!

Anyone expected the GOVT to pass illegal mandates/laws, operate outside of their Constitutional bounds and STILL ‘keep their promises’?? Even the millennials aren’t that naive.
“This has to stop!”. If you mean SS, MediXYZ and a plethora of other ‘programs’, I’d say you’re in good company. If you mean ‘making good on the promises’...
#2, it’s a tax...just like every other ‘entitlement’. Blame your ((great)grand) parents for not stemming the tide of Socialism (let alone reversing).

In the very near future,there will be 2 sets of healthcare...1...For the rich.Great doctors,great healthcare,very expensive...2..V.A. style healthcare for the rest of us.

There IS already this scenario...the ‘medical care’ paid by the taxpayer (see Govt\employees), then the 2nd tier (veterans/MediXYZ), then the ‘poor’ (subsidized) and finally, the care that can be obtained by those paying their own way (if the taxes/etc. don’t kick ‘em into a ‘preferred’ group). Guess which is the *only* level that cares about cost, quality and customer service.

Quite easy to see the ‘issues’ since losing our Constitutional Republic ~100yrs ago....
