Let me shock the chit out of everybody, they should just extend Medicare to everyone, with some adjustments.
Everyone goes on Medicare and you pay for it through deductions for SS, if you want a part "B", with extended coverage, you pay more and its deducted from your pay,if you want "B" with a supplement thats OK also, you pay for what you get. If you opt for private insurance you have a bye on Medicare, but if you lose it Medicare kicks in automatically.
Uh....NO!!! Medicare serves a very, very samll segment of our society right now. Expand that to 300 million and it will get ugly quick. It is also in dire financial straights. Medicare is so underfunded that the s..t is gonna hit the fan for Medicare long before it does for SS. Ozark's got it right. Get the government out of the forking social programs not put them into more.
