Go Bernie Sanders

That would be great, although I haven't studied the plan you mentioned and I'm not sure about everyone paying the same amount. If everyone pays the same but 10% of the patients use 90% of the services that's a big imbalance. Someone who uses medical care sparingly and takes care of themselves should probably not pay as much as the hypochondriac who goes to the doc twice a month or the patients with chronic illnesses. However they figure it out I, too, will be so happy to finally have insurance!! I was talking to a medical professional just today who noticed my swollen leg and urged me to get to the doctor for some tests. She was upset when I told her I didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it--she said I could have a life-threatening blood clot or a circulatory problem that needs attention immediately. Well, too bad, money doesn't grow in trees! Sweet of her to give a damn but could have used that damn in Congress when they sold us down the river with the ACA.

I've been a fan of Bernie Sanders for the past couple of years. I wish he was the Democratic nominee instead of Clinton because then he definitely would have won. We have to become a kinder society where we just accept that a certain amount of our income is going to be taxed away to go to government and social programs. I do think that there should be more scrutiny about who is getting welfare, food stamps, rental assistance, etc., but if they qualify, then I'm fine with it. There was just a big bust in a local town with people scamming the system for millions of dollars. Suddenly, hundreds of families were calling the police asking what they had to do to avoid arrest because they were just as guilty as those arrested. It is a big deal around here. I'm glad to see the abuse being addressed.

Most everyone I know has money deducted from their Social Security to pay for Medicare. It is a shame that people are expected to find extra coverage beyond that, like prescription coverage. I would like to see everyone covered with everyone paying the same.

Yes Medicare is not free thats right. I like this idea right here. Sounds good to me Andria.

I am sure when I turn 65 medicare will be taken out of my Social Security to. What if the amount paid is to high for minuem wage workers.

You have no idea how much I wish Bernie were our President right now.
