I suppose I'll sign up for the monthly check when I'm...old. :) If my medical bills rise, I'll have myself removed from my union's plan so I can sign up for Medicare. I don't want to stick my union's health fund with big bills. If you are eligible you should take the money now and invest it. Harry put his finger on it. His union "cadillac plan" is better than Medicare and he knows he will have to lose it when he starts collecting SS. But, the government is here to help you. There's no doubt in my mind that the United States will, within the next 20 years, have a decent, government-sponsored health care plan that will cover everyone who lives here. The effort has been helped some by the Ryan plan to destroy Medicare and the fact that virtually all Republicans jumped aboard that particular ship to disaster. Recent legitimate surveys show that even the majority of teahadists don't want Medicare to go away. And what is Medicare but one of those danged "socialist" programs. Gotta love it. We should be concentrating on cutting back our miiltary expenditures drastically, to the tune of $100 billion a year, until we are down to a reasonable level. Half those savings can go to reducing the deficit and half can go towards funding needed social programs. That, and a serious tax increase on the wealthy, and we'll be out of the hole. I don't see anything morally wrong in doing to the very wealthy what they have been doing to the rest of the country since the 1980s. Unless the nanny state is reversed there will be non United States of America in 20 years. |
