I'm old and I want what I paid for while I worked for 50 years.

What "you paid for" in Medicare, including the interest you would have earned, is a maximum of something like $130,000.

I think you are entitled to get $130,000 in health care from the government.

Everything over and above that is welfare, paid for by your kids and grandkids.

After inflation, that'll last you about six months. No form of healthcare "reform" is going to work unless it addresses cost. Any plan that focuses on subsidizing healthcare is going to fail in the end, and probably take the rest of the economy with it.

Same here for 50 plus years. Unfortunately for my late wife she passed after 3 years on Medicare. She also worked for 50 plus years.
