Bernie Sanders Unveils his Medicare for All Plan
- Thread starter Dr. Acula
- Start date
I've taken my father to have procedures at the VA.
He's only used them in situations that weren't emergencies and has always complained about them.
when i said "the 20% satisfied with advantage plans" i didn't mean 20% of people. i meant the 20% of costs satisfied with advantage plans, since medicare part A only covers 80%.only 14% of medicare beneficiaries rely on medicare only.
if complaints is the barometer, then my so called platinum private plan ain't shyt either because i complain about everything health related.
The most popular and satisfied Medicare beneficiaries are those who use medicare advantage.
Those programs are purchased through private companies.
You all don't know what you're talking about. But it's a great time to learn.

The barometer is if you're going to tax people who are satisfied more what do they gain?
If the answer is nothing this just becomes a tax hike that won't pass.
If expanding medicare for all in its current implementation is what you want then you're really just getting closer to the original permutation of the ACA.
Sorry that's what I meant...and I work for them

We all?
Cmon man don't do the " I think we all can agree/everyone knows/no serious person disagrees" schtick.
Gallup surveys of people's attitudes towards health care coverage routinely shows satisfaction rates for VA/Medicare and even Medicaid as higher than private insurance. It's one thing to discuss dissatisfaction with current government options, but if that's the metric by which you determine success then the private market is a total failure.
The private market is a failure for the majority of people who have healthcare.
That's why we're having this conversation.
Most people with medicare have some type of supplemental insurance in order to afford healthcare. That makes it no better than what we have now with deductibles, premiums and limited options.
The VA is a total disaster. :camdup:

I'm going to assume most people here do t have employee provided PPO healthcare at no cost and employee deposited HSA funds to cover the cost of deductibles up to coinsurance or co-pays and other needs.

You keep posting this article. The actual survey is that people think that Medicare and Veteran's health benefits are overwhelmingly important.
Despite being seen as important 2/3 of those same people surveying it says it need overhaul.
