[quote=Anonymous]DH and I just retired and have more money saved than planned and that we will ever need.  The gains made during our working lifetime have been astronomical.

I would love Medicare or some form of it be for all.  I am willing to pay more since our income is well above the norm.  I would love a lower SS max and a higher SS minimum.

Right now, DH pays IRMA (or whatever the acronym is) with Medicare.  Once my COBRA runs out, I will be on the marketplace and I don’t mind not having subsidies- I just want health insurance.  I would like the subsidies to be in place for lower income individuals. I don’t mind not getting my “money’s worth” because that means I am not sick and I am well off.  I think of insurance as something where I want to lose money, because that means I am still alive, I am not sick, my house did not burn down and I got to go on my trip.

I think our economy works better when there is not such a discrepancy between the rich and poor and there is not a K economy.  I think our society works better too.  We have e swung too far into unbridled capitalism and too far away from socialism.  We need a bit of both.
