Four months after I qualified for Medicare I had a medical incident & if it had happened before, I would have gone into retirement tens of thousands of dollars in debt, even though I played by the rules & paid off all my debt before retirement. Four months made a world of difference!

The increase you & others are going to see is criminal. I'm so sorry! Fuck every republican politician. We need Medicare for All!

ACA policies have been subsidized, but Puppet’s Big Lousy Bill removed those subsidies.

I’m curious to see if that has a ripple effect on my employer provided insurance cost.

They doubled the costs to see specialist. I get the option that's supposedly easier to get appointments, etc.
