Medicare for all will destroy the healthcare system - that I pd 50 yrs into non-stop. These people screaming for it haven't more than what 5-10yrs payment into Soc Sec/Medicare? for 330 Million people. Bankrupt country. Stolen my money as surely as if you pulled gun on me.

The only time Congress makes bipartisan solutions is to screw over Americans so I hope to god they don't.

Americans borrow $88 billion annually to pay for health careAmericans borrowed a staggering $88 billion in the past year to pay for health care, a new survey finds. I’m Definitely one of the 65 million who chose to pay rent instead of seeking medical attention. The sad part is, I have health insurance, but deductibles and copays still make regular and/or emergency doctors visits either daunting or outright prohibitive. How many of those 65 million were sniffles, sprains, or scrapes? Thank you Democrats and Obama for increasing costs, when you promised your plan would bring costs down.

Health-care costs for retirees climb to $285,000The amount is up slightly from $280,000 in 2018. While the annual increase slowed over the last two years — 3.6 percent compared with 12.2 percent from 2015 to 2017 — the amount still poses a challenge for many in retirement. But I was told the Affordable Care Act made everything affordable. But Dems want illegals to get free schooling and free healthcare. Great job Dems. Most of this cost is long term care costs. No way govt can cover these huge costs unless your estate is worth very little, then Medicaid covers it. Some get around that, but not sure how. Probably put estate in children’s names maybe.
