    By "my socialist health care program" do you mean Medicare?

    ~ I am guessing he is referring to Medicaid - which is free.

    Medicaid is means-tested, and by what he said about his financial situation, he has too much money to qualify.

    You're free to reply to any posts, but but my question was for that individual, and you don't know him any better than I do, so why did you feel compelled to answer? I'm really just wondering.

    I have Medicare which started at 65. I pay for it out of my Social Security every month. I supplement my Medicare with Humana Care Advantage. I only pay if I use it. My max deductible is $3400 a year. Every month I drop a couple hundred into a fund to cover medical, some towards burial, and a emergency expense fund.

    Great day for Republican woman .

    Republican Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis declared victory late Tuesday over U.S. Rep. Max Rose

    Hope one of them catches AOC in the bathroom and flushes her head in the toilet.

    ~ Medicare is an entitlement for the older population only - not socialist. We have a choice. However the "progressive" agenda is the opposite. They are determined to destroy all health care options until only big government is available . That would be socialist medicine - like the Medicaid system for everyone.

    Well of course. The writing is on the wall. They think Medicaid is so wonderful they want to open the borders and give it to everybody. Wonder if Carlos Slim is ready to pay up? I guess that is because there will be so much money left over from Mommy and Daddy no longer having to pay college tuition and forgiveness of debt their sorry asses ran up. Now I see some states are considering making those who are working at home pay taxes. Defund all the police should save them a ton. Close all the coal mines and oil fields and get your free energy from the sun and wind. My states getting ready to fine anyone in groups of 25 or more starting this week. Yep! Come Jan 20, 2021 Joe Biden and the Swamp will be back. BLM said they want something in return for getting Joe elected. Joe said " I got something for you all. Welcome back to the plantation" "Don't run off now I'll be needing you all again in 4 years" .

    Nice for you that you're healthy and readonably prosperous.

    I suffer from an auto-immune problem that keeps me in less than great health. I'm also a cancer survivor. If Trump and friends manage to get the conservative-packed SCOTUS to destroy the ACA, I'd be totally screwed if I weren't already on Medicare. I probably pay more than you for my supplement, but I have no deductibles, no co-payments, and can choose any doctors I want whenever I want.

    Everyone's deal is different.

    I'm way away from being healthy. I too am on Medicare. I chose Humana supplement over Anthem BC/BS because I can use it outside of the state I live in. BC/BS had a regular rate which does give some comfort if you know what your out of pocket every month is going to be. I had BC/BS through my employer up until this year when I retired. At 79 my cancer had spread and at the moment is in a holding pattern. J&J has waived a very expensive medication for me at present. (Thank God). My only point to you would be is that people need to realize that health is not a guaranteed thing and they seriously need to think about how they can protect themselves financially for the future.

    I have grandkids who think the ACA is the answer too all their concerns about health care. They want the government to pay for it because they have been brainwashed into believing that it is a Constitutional right and they are entitled to it. The way I see it now, if everybody is on ACA, the standard of our care will deteriorate as hospitals and waiting times for appointments with physicians are over taxed now. This year my appointments run between 3 and 12 months. The earliest I can get in to see a dentist is on Christmas Eve this year. So what do you think is going to happen when 11 - 30 million more people are put in the system and that is not counting the illegals Biden & Co wish to add.

    ~ When Biden and the democrats get into power China and the totalitarian forces of evil will have prevailed. A preview of that America can be seen in the actions of "Black Lives Matter," Antifa and other similar groups that have burned our cities, killed or hurt innocent Americans and our police, and destroyed businesses.
    China has been snuffing out the fledgling democracy in Hong Kong - that is happening now in the USA as network media and public education dumb down the populace. The CCP is enslaving & "reeducating" the Uyghurs and other ethic groups ; threatening Taiwan and other peaceful nations; waging a border war with India and seeking global dominance.
    Welcome to the " New World Order" .

    Sorry to hear about your condition. I hope you beat it.

    As for an overtaxed system, take heart: many tens of thousands of young men and women are choosing that career path.

    As for wait times: that could be a product of where one chooses to live. I seem to get appointments within a week or two of calling, sooner if it's my primary doc who knows my issues, or the surgeon I'm seeing again this week to discuss next steps on two problems I'm currently desling with.

    As for who should pay: I'm of two minds there. I like the idea of Medicare as a public option for those who want it, and not mandatory for those who don't. I like the fact that it is not free, since we start paying for it as soon as we get our first job and pay a monthly fee out of Social Security when we retire, and that those who have the means and so choose can purchase supplements from private insurers. What I don't like is health insurance companies making life or death decisions for us based on nothing more than where we appear on some spreadsheet designed by lawyers. Being poor should not be a death sentence, nor should any illness in a family force them to sell everything to pay the medical bills, up to and including their homes.

    Amazing how Biden and his commie/ socialist wants to rejoin the WHO, Paris Peace Accord and
    What has upset me the most is one of Biden's or Harris's transition team who believes over 70 should be denied certain treatment for long term terminal illness. I was healthy as a ox until I hit 75 and I admit there are good days and bad days. I worked 4 more years while under treatment and if it wasn't for Covid I would be getting out more. My ex boss has already told me that if I can get my strength up he would hire me back part time or full time. I guess what rubbed me wrong was is this guy is 60 and his attitude is "He doesn't understand why people would want to live pass 70".

    Do you have a link to that? Who, exactly, said that? I'd like to read what you did, in full context.

    It was on TV and I didn't catch his name but I'll try and do some more research on it. My wife said she thinks it was one of Omar's aides.

    Were teetering that way at present. If you would have asked me a few years ago I would have said "No way". Today I'm not so sure.

    ~ Agreed. It's actually up to us - the average citizen. If we stay together in resistance we can at least greatly hamper these efforts. Look what Trump has done alone with almost no help. The biggest problem is our own news media.
    There is hope ...

    ~ This could be an option that may work. However from what I read the premiums would actually cost more than private insurance. I think offering a basic catastrophe coverage medical policy with high deductible and low premiums is another option to explore .

    Ilhan Omar? One of her aides? And people take it seriously?

    I would still need full context. Let me know if you find it.

    Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just think of the number of senior citizens that watch their grandchildren grow up and provide knowledge and guidance. My ex boss just yesterday told me that he has had do my job since I left because he has had to remove two other replacements who have not been capable of the task. One of them in their 20's and the other in his 40's. Like the old song goes " I ain't too old to cut the mustard, I'm just too old to spread it around".
