I’ve never heard of anyone on SS who DOES have health insurance.

My 75 year old mother is on SS and also has private health insurance. It was provided to her from her job. After she retired she had to pay for it on her own.
I know another woman also in the same situation. In her 70s and on SS but until recently she also paid for her own health insurance. Only thing is, this woman recently dropped her private insurance because she believes Obamacare will now take over. How many of those elderly voters are out there?
“Ive never heard of anyone on SS who DOES have health insurance.”
You have now. I’m on SS and have health insurance with a large, well-known, brand-name, insurance corporation.
Plenty of folks who are covered by Medicare ALSO carry family policies to cover younger dependents and spouses.
As even Mitt Romney could tell you, if you have more than one wife one of them will usually be QUITE a bit younger, so you'll need that family policy for her and 10 chillun anyway.
