So I guess this means you will not be collecting Medicare when you are old.

[medicare4all]

To make this abundantly clear: providing a basic benefit to all, such as traditional Medicare, would not limit choice in the least. You are still free to buy what it doesn't cover or even what it does if you think something else is better. You still have that choice.

[medicare4all]

ALL insurers ration care to some extent, some more than others, but this is not a valid argument for not providing a basic benefit to everyone. Private insurers have profits as their main motive, so it makes rationed care a higher priority, as you found out with your mom. Medicare does not have that type of motivation and with a larger and healthier member pool it would be a fine benefit and we'd still have enough to actually invest in our health care system rather than lining co pockets.

[medicare4all]

Right and no one told you or your mother that you couldn't go buy health care even being a beneficiary of Medicare. It's a false argument to suggest that a single payer system would somehow limit your choices. The only thing that limits your choice is how much money you or your provider have to spend, which is the way it is no matter the payment system. cont...

I can tell you what is really obvious, when you have a member pool of only the old and the disabled, you are likely to have financial difficulties. When Medicare has a member pool consisting of everyone, it will be financially stable and we'd have plenty left to actually invest in our health care system and technology rather than lining corporate pockets.

I do not care to research part D. I don't believe in government care run system that limits freedom to participate in free markets. My tax dollars will take care of you regardless. It is a real shame to me that so many people like yourself believe the government owes you just about everything to survive.

This is truly us becoming a Banana Republic in the making where everyone is picking shit with the chickens.

Medicare4all,

Well, all I can tell you is what you already know.

Medicare is going busted. A government run plan.

Social Security is going busted. A government run plan.

The Post Office is going busted. A government run plan.

King Obama said himself private co's UPS & FedEx are dong great compared to US P.O.

The majority don't believe in his Public Option. I'm sorry you won't except that.

To: medicare4all,

Correct! I bought out of country. That is called freedom of choice being able to participate in a global free market. reinforced by Bill Clinton's bill NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)

I like freedom of choice as what seems to be the case with the American majority both Dems & GOP as the the Public Option is crumbling with Dems in control with 60% voting power. Majority not minority rules. Who cares what party.

[medicare4all]

I bet you bought it out of country too. The drug lobby here keeps prices artificially inflated. Where health care is concerned free markets only work when the health care involved is elective. Again, part D is not a single payer system like traditional Medicare is. Part D is a handout to large private insurers. It and Medicare Advantage need to go as they are not true single payer systems that benefit the members.

[medicare4all]

You may want to do more research on how Part D works. It is not Medicare, it is a private free market system under the guise of Medicare. Medicare didn't deny your mother anything, whatever private company she was buying the Rx coverage from denied it.
