Hot damn: Biden rolls out Medicare and student debt proposals

113. I did get a subsidy on mine but I don't see how that guy is paying $1200 per month...

That's what BCBS was charging the ACA for my plan $1200-1400 which those nice people at BCBS had JACKED from about $350 when Trump started trying to destroy the ACA. I could buy that same plan directly (why would anyone do that?) from BCBS for what your neighbor is paying.

I had basically the same plan for YEARS with BCBS before the ACA. I started with the ACA when first required a few years before I turned 65 and it was a mirror of my BCBS plan. It went fine for a year or two before Trump and his thugs tried to dismantle it then the price they started charging the Gov went through the roof which is exactly what Trump wanted.

I'm in pretty good health and had a ACA plan with a larger deductible and the subsidy's lowered it but I do pay more for my Medicare. My point is any of you well under 65 don't think for a minute that Medicare is somehow free. Right now it's about $145 per month that comes out of your SS each month and then a supplemental plan which costs me another $160 per month and then another $198 per year that's on each person for your deductible. It's great that it's out there or seniors would never be able to afford health insurance but it's not free like many think.
