Step one in taking your Medicare, as follows

Require pre approval for practically everything, making it next to impossible to get anything done, you will die waiting to get something done so you will be pushed over to buy Medicare advantage which eventually will cost so much in co-pays and deductibles that you’ll die from that also.

Like we said, they’re going to take everything and that means Medicare and Social Security also dammit. 😡

...whether or not it goes well, it WILL be foisted on the entire country.

As a boomer, I'm probably the last generation to even get any Social Security at all, and that will probably be cut even more than it already has been for me ie: retirement age 67 instead of 65.

Plus that shortfall that's coming in 2030-2033 or so where EVERYBODY gets a 25% cut.

Congress (Dems included) have REFUSED to do a damn thing about that now for 30 years (though they knew it was coming), and now it's probably too late with MAGAts in control to stop it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
