(11,885 posts)There will be jobs created to support the growth . You can't increase Medicare rolls that much without expansion of people working to serve them. Can these fewer numbers of people losing there jobs be given the chance to work for the new system? Right now people have lost their jobs in the health care system from Medicare, Medicaid cutbacks from republicans and trumps policies, so we're losing jobs already. Rural area's especially hurt as cuts reduce their numbers needed to stay in business. We've already seen some medical outlets close down because of this. Add trump and republicans destroying Social Security and watch as more are hurt economically so they can't afford health care, which is on trump and the GOP agenda if they are re-elected. trump and the gop are already killing affordable health care and jobs , so this isn't as if job loss is a main issue. When the average consumer realizes they no longer have to carry a private insurance plan, their saving not having to pay an extra $400-$1000 a month , and private insurance subsidizing Medicare stops it'll also reduce its costs, which helps that system work more efficient, lowering costs. MFA is a win /win, unless you're a insurance company that's been gouging Americans for along , long time. I know some people paying extremely high premiums above $1000 a month that are being drained economically , and could face bankruptcy with just small increases now in their premiums, and more health issues.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
