Just saying… (#6 in a series)
So now the Senate Dems are getting rid of the early Medicare opt-in – the program that would let people as young as 55 enter Medicare, possibly saving the US money in the long run, since these people who might not have health insurance would be getting care for the ailments that plague us all in our later years.
All this to appease Lord Lieberman.
If there’s no early Medicare, no public option of any kind, and no apparent incentive for private insurance companies to lower their costs, how is this bill changing anything?
