YOU DO NOT WANT MEDICARE FOR ALL. IT IS NOT FREE !!!
No one should be surprised that Obamacare turned out to be terrible for every working American family. A big hint to people should have been realized when members of Congress exempted themselves and their staffers from having to participate in the ACA, while essentially every other American family had to participate. A big hint should have been when Nancy Pelosi publicly stated that "We have to pass the ACA bill before we read it." Honestly, how can anyone be ok with that legislative nonsense? The ACA was a false bill of goods sold to Americans as "Fixing" healthcare. Basically, the ACA was another fraudulent giveaway to buy votes from an ever increasing perpetually dependent segment of the population that could only be paid for by skyrocketing premiums for every working family, and the lies were there from the beginning. Recall that Obama repeatedly said: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." "If you like your Dr, you can keep your Dr. Almost no one got to keep their plan, and almost no one got to keep their Dr. I am a Dr, and this is what it did to my family: In my own family, my wife being a retired school teacher, we had great insurance that we paid $500 per month for a family of 4 with nearly zero prescription costs. I became permanently disabled in an auto accident, and was forced by law to convert to Medicare, and had to pay an extra $350 per month as my Medicare premium, because they based that off of my income 2 years prior to becoming disabled. So that added $4200 per year to the $500 a month for the rest of the family, plus, by going on Medicare, I lost my free prescription coverage that I had and my medications cost $700 per month now. So that added another $8400 per year. The total amount that we paid per year went from $6000 per year with zero copay for prescriptions and MD visits, to $18,600 per year plus a $50 copay for every one of my MD visits, being about 1 per month, so add that $600 yearly and now our total is $19,200 per year. And, I am now disabled, so my income went to zero except for social security. Someone please explain to me how this is good for anyone. And before you start demanding Medicare for all, you had better realize that it is not free for anyone, including seniors. A monthly payment is deducted from Social Security for seniors, and for those on Social Security disability, and prescriptions are another big monthly premium, and it is riddled with large copays for MD visits and for prescriptions, and Medicare does not cover a lot of commonly prescribed medications, so those have to be paid for out of pocket. My family's insurance costs went from $6,000 per year to $19,200 per year. Thanks, Obama.
