“This dude is a retired school teacher on Medicare … and he’s worried that we are “careening toward socialized medicine?” LMAO.”

Similar to what I thought reading this post... “careening toward socialized medicine”. Ha! We are slap-dab in the middle of socialism. Period.
Thank you for an early morning belly laugh.
Let's count up all the things that make the author of this idiocy a paragon of socialism:
1. He's a retired public school teacher.
2. He's on Medicare.
3. He pays for Part B Hospitalization coverage, but those payments are reimbursed by the taxpayers of New York City.
4. His "private insurance" Medicare supplement is publicly funded under the terms of the union contract for the NYC school teachers.
Apparently this dope is that last person on the planet to figure out that the whole purpose of imposing socialized medicine is to ration health care in order to reduce the enormous burden that is placed on taxpayers by people like HIM.
