Health Care

I just don’t get it. We have publicly funded fire fighting, police, education, hospitals, housing, etc., etc., etc. So what’s different about publicly funded health care? I mean, Americans 65 & older who use Medicare universally like it. Even the wingnuts who are opposed to “government health care” love Medicare.

I’m thinking that our President just needs to ask the American people, If you could buy into Medicare before you’re 65, would you? The answer to that question would surely reveal a lot.

Yes, I would sign up for Medicare before 65 if my employer permitted it. At present, my employer reimburses me for the $98 Medicare premium. My employer provides me with supplemental insurance and pays the premium. Medicare and my supplemental insurance pay most, but not all, of my medical costs. I pay a nominal amount. I pay an affordable co-pay for my drugs. Of course, I realize Obama says I can keep my present health insurance, but the BIG question is will my employer allow me to keep it? If not, will the Obama plan provide me with all of the above benefits?

It probably would Joan, just like Medicare, but unfortunately, all these good questions won’t get answered because we’re all too busy now fighting the fear mongering and lies. It’s really a shame they didn’t call this extended Medicare for all in the beginning. Just a big can of worms that could have been avoided, but like campaigning for Obama, we’ll just have to fight until the end, and if it goes like we’re all feeling it will, just have to keep fighting.
