What a riot...prexisting people don't get hosed...well unless you include being lucky enough to get old as a preexisting condition--at which point one's insurance premium is double what it is for a 40 year old with ZERO subsidies...I even brought down the income at low at 10 grand for a 65 year old(I doubt many people could pay all they need to on that with no house payent, etc...still 160 a month for the cheapest gold--something arguably an older person would need because of the coverage to save from going bankrupt if they get ill or need surgery. ****ing ridiculous...I'm guessing the thinking here is that there won't be enough 65 year olds to out vote the 30 year old masses with children who are getting big subsidies.
Of course, I don't know how Medicare works...I admit that. I would guess you need a supplemental plan--is it not required? How on earth with older peeps do that with the numbers I saw at that site? I assume these would act as those required supplemental plans? Or is that not required and most older folks thenwould now be on crappy ass Medicare only and at the whim of the gov for healthcare completely?
