Medicare needs a huge makeover, if they want people back. Advantage through Medicare costs about 225 a month per person. Private healthcare is fully aware of this too. Grabbing 174 a month times millions of people is a nice chunk of change for them.

I don't know any senior that can afford to piss away 450 a month for 2 people. I get the difference between free and 450 a month. Plus private gives you other things Medicare does not. Dental, hearing, etc. Most of us have to do what we have to do.

P.S. I just talked to a friend, who so happens to be 85, and she told me her premiums doubled for next year. Thanks Trump.

Healthcare in this country is a total disaster. I don't say that lightly. And the GOP is currently out to destroy healthcare for all in this country. Their plan is apparently to starve the people and deny their healthcare. A lot of people will die. At a time when we can't get anyone to pick oranges or apples. Really makes sense, don't it?

In the mean time, Trump is getting a multi million dollar jet.

When is the hell are we going to fix this cluster f***? FOREVER!!!!
