Who cares who wrote their Constitution?
We're still paying for their universal healthcare while we have people dying because they don't have coverage!
And seriously, what insurance company is going to give insurance to 70 year olds when Medicare is done away with?
During all my reading during the Obamacare debate, I read somewhere that before Medicare 50% of over 65 year olds had health insurance. That seems low by current standards but by 1965 standards that seem really high to me. Of course, Medicare pretty much destroyed the over 65 health insurance market. Currently it only exists in supplemental programs and left over retiree programs.
But I assume one could be regrown in the same way Medicare Advantage created an elderly insurance market and Medicare Part D created many different private RX plans.
I'm curious to hear what the Prez rolls out tomorrow.
