Anybody have any thoughts or opinions on this? Put forth by a republican
governor and backed by a democratic senate. Includes coverage for all as
well as mandatory health insurance for those previously able to afford it
but choosing not to (as many of you know, something I've been advocating
for
years). This could be the model of the future.



Medicare for All Ages would be easier and more comprehensive. A new study
group has found that the vast majority of Americans support universal health
care, according to the ABC web pages anyway. They care collecting more
opinions online right now.

Your leftist totalitarianism is showing again. Tax money
should not go into directing healthcare, and it inevitably
will end up by bureaucrats with lifetime tenure making
medical decisions, as otherwise the cost would be overwhelming.

We need to get rid of the costs of anti-insurance and the
welfare aspects of Medicare. There is no type of real
insurance which makes the premium for a given coverage
depend on the income of the purchaser; it is a fraud.
