“Not just Medicare. He had an interesting CV and was, apparently, a real fan of socialized medicine...”
From the link, it looked like he was happy with the existing system (including Obamacare). Real socialized medicine would put his company out of business, or at a minimum, reduce them to simply claims processors, paid by the hour, with the real decisions all being made by the government.
One thing for sure, though, he really like Medicare Advantage (Part C, or HMO-style coverage), and became a pro at milking that. I was helping a friend sign up for Medicare, and his company kept popping up at the cheapest available...now we know why!
