[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, this is a huge thing that will deeply affect my family. We currently have great health insurance and pretty much immediate access to any specialist we need.  Deductibles are minimal.

Most of the Democratic candidates' plans will mean worse healthcare access for us, and I assume many folks.  I find this really frustrating!  How is this considered a winning issue.  I'm not going to vote against my own self-interest.[/quote]

It's really important to note that this would only happen under SOME candidates' plans. Candidates like Biden--who advocates for a public option, along with employer-provided insurance--do not envision this.

I am on a federal plan and would like to keep it, unless "medicare for all" provides similar or better benefits at the same or lower cost, which I seriously doubt it would. This is one big reason why I don't support those candidates. Their plans are inefficient and infeasible. They would also cost a HUGE amount of money. I base that assessment in part on what my dad--an insurance expert who is known enough to have regular expert witness testimony work--has told me. He is strongly for the introduction of a public option.
