Zeke, You think the private health insurers won't jump on this--denying care to those over 75, quoting your opinion as rationale? Every time they deny care, they profit.

My personal view is NOT a policy position & my advocacy shows that. I’ve urged the elderly to get COVID vax priority. I’ve advocated for MA reforms that better serve seniors. My medical view has always been to protect those who are most vulnerable. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/

Zeke, once again, you show yourself as a skewed ethicist. If you really cared about the wellbeing of everyone in the US, you would be an advocate for national publicly funded Medicare4All--expanding the eligibility age from birth to death. Everybody in; nobody out.

This info should be available from the census using latest data available, but graphs tend to include confusing factors. We would like to see percentage of US residents with health insurance, broken down by "type of insurance."

Can @KFF give us a graph depicting health insurance coverage in the US. What percentage on Medicaid, what percent in an ACA marketplace plan, what percent in an employer-based plan, in other private plans, in Medicare Advantage, in traditional Medicare? Then, sadly--uninsured?

We need a national publicly funded system that does away with unnecessary private insurer middlemen who profit every time they deny or skimp on care. While we don't graduate enough doctors or nurses, think of the costly private businesses profiting from our illnesses.

The whole point of Insurance was: You paid in and they paid out. Old laws need to be put back in place regulating insurance companies so that they perform what they are represented as instead of taking the monies and giving them to the upper executives.

When Republicans are in power, they rack up giant deficits, mainly by cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy. Then when Democrats take the reins, Republicans blame them for being big spenders. It’s always the same story.
