These recommendations and criticism of govt healthcare have been around for years and have had zero effect on the debate. We’re headed for single payer and there’s no going back until the system completely crashes of its own weight.
EXACTLY, that’s why everyone who can read should go and sign up today, help crash the system.
Agreed
Let's just look at what it will cost to put everyone on Medicare.
Medicare already consumes 3X what is put into it by the FICA deductions from those that are working.
This is 3% of your gross earnings....thus that needs to be increased to 9% of your earnings to actually cover what is being spent on those 65 or over.
Now we have to add in the medical expenses of everyone else thus raising the contribution to at least 15%(estimate)of gross earnings.
That's quite a hit to the productive part of society.
The above are just a SWAG guess. Maybe someone here could find a better approximation of the actual costs.
Well, Obaba likes Medicaid as he stole almost one trillion from Medicare.
Relative’s health insurance was $235/month.
Obama cancelled it and now?
ObamaCare equivalent: $409/month
Thanks Obama! /s
re. Medicaid...I knew a doctor who took Medicaid...was very frustrating for the doctor who said the Medicaid paid low, paid slow and often rejected claims which had to be repeatedly re-submitted. As soon a she had enough “paying patients” (with real insurance), she stopped seeing taking Medicaid patients...just was not worth the hassle.
But now, we have Obama Cr*pCare! Glory be!
