I would definitely want to keep Medicare Supplements, which cost the consumer more but cover much more and maintain a degree of free market competition.I wouldn't have a Medicare Advantage Plan, they cover 80% for DME, that leaves out
DME that Medicare covers includes, but isn't limited to:
Whereas medigap covers it , the Part B deductible applies. Pay as you go don't work for me.

Everything is a payment in private healthcare. Watch they will slowly administer less medical as they are raising prices. It was installed in 1997 so that they would not impeach Clinton.
Now if tramp would bed a aide they would be a lot of republicans voting for him and he would be called a hero.
Read here for lots - More - of this alphabet soupIt’s been big news this year that as of Jan. 1, 2020, Medigap plans C and F will be discontinued. This change came about as a part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization legislation in 2015, which prohibits the sale of Medigap plans that cover Medicare’s Part B deductible. The goal of discontinuing these plans is to make all Medicare beneficiaries have some out-of-pocket spending when they use healthcare services.
Both Medigap Plans C and F cover Medicare’s Part B deductible, which in 2019 is $185. This makes these plans into something called “first dollar coverage.”
If a Medigap plan covers all your out-of-pocket spending from the beginning, the theory is that you will be more likely to run to the doctor over every little sniffle and sneeze. This costs Medicare, and thus the federal government, money. By discontinuing these two plans, Congress hopes beneficiaries will be a bit more choosy about seeking healthcare for minor ailments. So as of Jan. 1, 2020, these plans are being phased out for new enrollees.
Down with Medicare Supplement, they are a private insurers. Its not Medicare at all.I would definitely want to keep Medicare Supplements, which cost the consumer more but cover much more and maintain a degree of free market competition.
Two levels of coverage, the consumer decides.
That would be a great system for EVERYONE.
Medicare leaves HUGE gaps in what is covered. Medicare Supplements fill the gap. What Medicare doesn't pay, Medicare Supplements pay. It works great.Down with Medicare Supplement, they are a private insurers. Its not Medicare at all.

You must work for Medical Advantage plan , thats the only way you are pro them.Medicare leaves HUGE gaps in what is covered. Medicare Supplements fill the gap. What Medicare doesn't pay, Medicare Supplements pay. It works great.
You can read Post 14 for my background on this.You must work for Medical Advantage plan , thats the only way you are pro them.
Not for DME , they don't, plus they have shitty dentists, the doctors are not that great either, with Medicare and with Medigap plan you get to go to any doctor.
Hey, to dramatically cut costs here's an idea.. why not just dump the middlemen (employers and insurance corporations) completely? Then CMS could get back to dealing directly with the health service providers who.. of course, shall always demand more, more, more!Snopes reports that members of Congress and staff “pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions.” They also have access to “free or low-cost care” through the Office of the Attending Physician as well as “free medical outpatient care at military facilities” in the D.C. area.
That’s a pretty good deal, especially given that the average 21-year-old making $25,000 a year would be charged $282 per month for a silver Obamacare plan, and pay about half of that, or $142, thanks to subsidies, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Far better yet.. Medicare for AllThere is nothing perfect out there. We're looking for the best possible thing. And this will be one helluva lot better than the 7-headed pig of a "system" that we have now.

With all those gaps in coverage? With no out-of-pocket maximums?Far better yet.. Medicare for All
Got no facts to support that ridiculous opinion? Really?With all those gaps in coverage? With no out-of-pocket maximums?

If you're an American citizen , you are to join gub'mit HC

This then, becomes an ultimatum , not an entitlement when we reach 65

Huh ? Medicare for all is single payer. What have you been smoking ? When has the GOP ever proposed Medicare for all ?I've been saying since I've been here that our (a) our health care "system" is insane, and (b) the ACA is a stupid pig of a law. Plenty of examples of those posts upon request.
Then I point out that the Democrats were lying about "Medicare for All", when what they REALLY want is Single Payer. The FULL Medicare system includes a strong, innovative and creative free market component called Medicare Advantage Plans. It's right there, and it works great. It needs to be brought more under cost control, and it can be. LET'S EXPAND IT TO EVERYONE.
Well, lookie here:
Republicans Have Stopped Trying to Kill Obamacare. Here’s What They’re Planning Instead.
Right-wing thinkers have moderated their views on health care since 2017 but are ready with a slate of coverage changes when the political moment shifts.www.politico.com
Medicare currently enrolls 64 million Americans, growing daily, and is a big success story for the American right as more than half of new enrollees are signing up daily for the privatized Medicare Advantage option with its lower premiums, lower cost sharing and additional benefits relative to traditional Medicare Parts A and B. Conservatives such as Goodman and Clancy would like to expedite the transition, allowing year-round open enrollment in Part C (as opposed to the current 6-week annual open enrollment period) and even making it the default selection for new enrollees. They would also like to enable Medicare enrollees to obtain and use Health Savings Accounts.
Indeed, a small and growing chorus of voices now suggest that Medicare Advantage could be the foundation for a unitary and reformed national health system, not Sanders’ “Medicare for All” which would eliminate Part C, but “Medicare Advantage for All” that would eliminate Medicare A and B, and make Part C universal.
When it comes to this health care plan, GO REPUBLICANS!!!! Listen to Ol' Mac! Medicare ADVANTAGE for all!
many of us don't appreciate the gub'mit's foot in our a** FFSo what? What's the problem?
Medicare ADVANTAGE for all.Huh ? Medicare for all is single payer. What have you been smoking ? When has the GOP ever proposed Medicare for all ?
That will never happen.Single payer private delivery.
