[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Medicare for all will stop this craziness[/b][/quote]

You Sir have no idea what you're saying.  You know nothing about Medicare.

-This years' premium is $202 monthly and climbs every year above the COLA given.
-If your income is above $109k then you have to pay a premium on top of the $202.  You may have to pay up to $700 monthly if you have a high income.
-Medicare doesn't cover many medical expenses.  It has a co-insurance for many procedures.  It also doesn't cover eye care or dental.  If you want the gap coverage i.e. Part Q, the premium is around $200mth if you're healthy.
-If you want most prescriptions to be coverered , then it's around $50mth

There you go, just for basic medicare and minimum coverage similar to workplace Insurance, you will be paying a minimum $450mth.

You're an ignoramus if you think Medicare for all is a good idea.  Throw on millions of people that haven't paid a lifetime into the fund and the expenses increase exponentially raising the premiums to $1000'S.

I think you are the own who doesn't get it.  With millions more paying into Medicare for all, it won't be only seniors (heavy users) paying, it will be everyone paying, which will :
Bring down costs for all
Not tie health insurance to jobs, so people will retire earlier, and not be stuck in jobs they don't want because of health insurance

And I do know about Medicare, as spouse is 65 and on it, I am younger and not.  We pay a lot more for my private coverage than his, even with his IRMAA, and out of pocket dental and eye coverage [/quote]
