Exactly - seniors PRE-PAID all their working lives for this end of life insurance - and still do!
Right now, the gov't takes almost a hundred dollars a month out of seniors social security for medicare - plus a deductible, plus 20% co-pay, plus it doesn't pay for office visits.
This year, and next year, there will be NO cost of living raise BUT there will be more taken out for medicare.
Seniors have prepaid for this insurance - how can it not be illegal to take it away?
The administration/congresscritters are setting the younger folk against the older...making the older folk appear as parasites.
Have they never stopped to consider that, if they are lucky, they will one day also be a senior citizen - and therefore subject to whatever they impose on us?
Oh, oh, wait! No, they exempt themselves for this Trojan Horse health care - THEY will retain their current gov't employee health insurance - the best in the land.
Make THEM have to also take this health insurance with the rest of us and see how fast it DOESN'T get passed.
They should also have to pay into Social Security. If they did this, they would fix it. They would also stop the stealing of the SS funds for other purposes. So far the money they have taked from SS is in the Billions.
