Do you plan to retire? What will happen then? Do your family and friends have the same insurance plan? What will happen to them if they don’t? Seems short-sig

Do you plan to retire? What will happen then?
Do your family and friends have the same insurance plan? What will happen to them if they don’t?
Seems short-sighted, yet telling, to talk only about the present time, and only about yourself.
- runako 5y ago> Do you plan to retire? What will happen then? When people retire, they are automatically covered by the socialized Medicare insurance program. Medicare is extremely popular among its recipients, many of whom nonetheless oppose socialized medicine for the general populace.
- boopboopbadoop 5y agoI wasn’t aware of that. Is there a minimum age to qualify? I remember hearing some stories coming out of the 2016 election similar to what you mentioned, the hypocrisy/irony is palpable.
- runako 5y agoMedicare is available to Americans 65 and over, regardless of income or assets. One of the proposed means to improve our healthcare system is to reduce that age from 65, potentially to as low as 0.
