93. No. The plans won't be the same. And people whose employers pay most of the premium...? How

about retirees whose retirement benefits pays 100 percent of the Medicare fee and the supplemental plan to provide 100 percent coverage and medications for two to fifteen dollars a prescription?

My plan covers urgent care and emergency if I travel abroad(up to six month) and if I retire abroad, though I would lose Medicare.

Many on single payer in Europe, NHS especially, endure huge wait times, quality disparities between service areas, and must pay out of pocket for good specialists. They do not contrary to what some Americans believe, get all drugs or procedures approved. Under NHS, hip replacement surgeries are now considered elective with wait lists so long elderly die before their number comes up.

Frankly, we don’t know what M4All will look like. However,

the plans won’t be the same.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
