In the 60s they said Medicare was a pipe dream. They said Social Security was a pipe dream. Going to the moon was a pipe dream. The internet was a pipe dream. This isn't a statement of what can't be done, but rather a statement of what Rahm Emanuel doesn't want to try.https://twitter.com/PostOpinions/status/1187877022443413504 …
I want more info on M-for-A before I outright reject it. But I have paid into Medicare since day one & I pay for Pt.B out of every SocSec check. If people can now get it FOR FREE, I want all that money back!

It's not for free. The idea is that everyone still pays into it, just like you do now - only you don't have to wait until retirement before you can HAVE it.

I’ve paid in 50 years. I’ve been broke with nothing but a dry veg. soup mix and a butterscotch cake mix left to eat. Was lucky enough family could help then and have had a fairly easy life. Some people have nothing and no one. I believe we need Medicare for all. It’s humane.

People will still be paying into it, just like you do. It's just that they won't have to wait til age 65 to use it.

Nothing is free, Ruth. I’ve also paid my whole life (I’m 62 now) into SS & MC, AND I pay $1000/mo for ins that gives me NO benefit unless catastrophe hits. This is NOT right. I’ll gladly pay into M4A & get real coverage. Don’t reject M4A or the option, Americans need it!

No, I've paid into SocSec since I was 14 and started working.

“All of these entitlements will go to people who, in my opinion, don’t deserve them”. That about cover it Ruth?

You grew up in a world where healthcare was like $20/mo on top of taxes. It's like a third of my income. Medical bankruptcy is common among people under 50. Common. I'm glad your generation had it better. Ours deserves the same, even if you feel selfish about it.

It will be paid for like every other government program, including Medicare and social security now. Everyone pays taxes so everyone has access.
