Health

IMO, taking something that half (over 30 million) of Medicare beneficiaries voluntarily chose — until the government makes original Medicare meet their needs — would be wrong.

I’m on original Medicare, but I foresee being forced into MA to get rid of MediGap, Part D, and get $2000 or so in useful benefits like dental. I had Kaiser at one point when that is what an employer offered. I actually liked it.

Instead of griping about MA, Howsabout we get on government to do something? And pointing fingers at the other side ain't accomplishing anything. Until then, I’m supporting MA by voting for Democrats who will consider everyone’s needs and what has a chance to pass Congress.

Finally, can someone tell me why Democrats haven't come out with a detailed plan for a Public Option or something similar while their is a lot of attention on private insurance? Then push it. Maybe UHC contributing more to Democrats that Republicans -- as reported by Opensecrets -- ought to be a wake up call as we go into mid-terms.
