[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Healthcare is not a human right, if I go to someone like a doctor to help me with something I expect to pay them for their services. Why is that so hard for people to understand.[/quote]

Great, then I suspect you won’t be on Medicare when you’re older.[/quote]

DP:  Slight difference---medicare is something we have all paid into for decades by the time we get to use it.  And if you are higher income in retirement, you will still pay $800/month+ for everything beyond Part A, so it ain't cheap.  [/quote]

Not everybody who gets Medicare pays into Medicare. For example, women who don’t work and stay home do not pay into Medicare, but they still get Medicare.[/quote]

If that’s based on their husband’s work history, that only applies to certain women in certain circumstances.

I’m grateful that when I ended up responsible for eldercare — I had the option of getting coverage through the ACA.  
Now I had worked and qualified for Medicare on my own, but eldercare and childcare are going to put a lot of women in dire straits. This change also might increase spousal abuse if women have to stay in abusive situations in order to maintain healthcare in the future (Medicare based on a spouse’s work history) as well as in the present.
