Medicare is NOT health insurance. It is a credit card that starts to fill-up after age 55. States, by law, are required to collect on the debt you and your family acrue for your medical care. The government, in collecting this debt, will place a lien on your estate. Beyond that, your children can be liable for what you owe. If everyone in the US were to be shifted into this program it would likely be the largest private property grab by a government anywhere in the world in modern history. Don’t take my word for it, start here and do your own research: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recovery/index.html https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recover... Not saying a better aporoach to healhcare isn’t necessary in the US. It is. Just saying this is not a good idea.
