Remember the old saying "A yellow dog democrat"?

But is that germane to this disussion?

This is all about the OP’s need to attack and insult those with whom he disagrees with unsubstantiated hit and run threads.

Maybe I’m missing something.

Oh yeah, he thinks I’m his son. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Your problem is that you think you are the only on here who makes six figures.

And once again, your comment isn't really germane to this discussion.

Of course, you really didn't give us much to work with, ace.

But based on your own posts, you've been off that employer paid plan for at least 15 years. I had a policy like that once, too.

I also had a head full of brown hair and a muscle car.

Maybe you should start a thread on "A perfect description of a republican living in the past"

Medicare A & B are single payer systems run by the government. It's not free. Anyone who gets paid by W2 has been paying into the program through payroll taxes. With Medicare Part B you have to get a supplemental health insurance policy (for the medical) in the free market. Medicare Part B just by itself is not going to pay for a lot.

Group health insurance will always be cheaper than Medicare because the risk pool of the policy holder is a lot younger. To be eligible for medicare you have be age 65 or older.

No health insurance company is going to sell a 65 year old person a health insurance policy in the individual market. It's just too risky. The health insurance companies underwriting department would never allow that. That's called capitalism.

The bottom line is you are seeing a higher price for that cancer pill because of RISK. Not because the government runs medicare, which is program for older people. Medicare Part D which is optional is suppose to help seniors with their prescriptions. The price of that pill will never be cheaper than what it cost under a group health insurance policy from the employer.

Could you elaborate on that, just a little. What is the normal Medicare versus the socialist version? I have never heard it phrased that way. I am still on group health insurance from the employer. I am a few years away from Medicare.

How to pay for medical care has been debated for years and years. Doesn't England have fully socialized medicine ? The OP could move there if he is retired.
