Dear Americans age 55 and younger. You need to keep something in mind from now on:
The repubicans want to **** YOU UP.
They want to set the stage so that it is more likely you will die sicker and earlier than you will now.
They want you to get a small check from the government and use it to try to buy health insurance. They want you to find someone who will cover a diabetic with heart problems and cancer. They want you to find affordable care as you have a heart bypass looming. They want you to find some benevolent company who will cover the cost of your heart-lung transplant for a few hundred bucks - maybe a thousand, if you can afford it - a month.
You're good with that, right?
Actually, yes. We both have insurance currently, so should be able to transition to another plan, possibly with the same company, without any problems. We can pick the plan we want instead of making do with what Uncle Sam has chosen. Having seen the level of care extended to Medicare patients compared to insured patients, I'm all for never taking Medicare.
Of course, they'll have to change that law that
requires seniors to take Medicare if they want their Social Security...
