[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So facts and truth now equal fear mongering? Raising the age limit may not mean much for the "deadwooders," but means everything for blue collar folks. Some are barely able to hold on till they qualify for Medicare. Manual labor can be very taxing on the body. My dad was in great physical shape, but he even had a hard time in his last years on the job as he worked on a cement floor for 40 years.[b] Can't find the quote, but just think of how hard a time some folks in their 40s and 50s have had in finding affordable health care. [b]Imagine an 85 year old widow with no close survivors navigating[/[/b]b]. Will there be a penalty if coverage lapses, etc? What will her voucher cover if she spends 2 weeks in the hospital with a bad case of pneumonia? Or falls at home and is in rehab for 3 months? so social workers at nursing homes are going to have become experts in 200+ plans? Would love if you could sketch out how this works beyond your admonition of fear mongering.

And, you don't think the widow has a problem now?

And, you think those in their forties and fifties aren't paying more now with ACA?

What is the widow's problem now?  She has a no voucher Medicare and, if indigent, Medicaid.  What will she do when her voucher only covers a quarter of her med costs and there is no longer Medicaid to cover her long term care.

Many people, even those not on ACA, are paying more.  Why are folks in denial about this?  Our HHI is in the top 2-3% and our premiums have escalated over last three years and we are not self-employed, on ACA, or have chronic conditions, etc.[/quote]
