Medicare for all USA? You would be forced to dump your health plan and go onto the government health plan.
Kamala Harris proposes this plan. Basically the government would go into the health insurance business and it would provide all of our health care. She says it would be FREE...free free free free...free frefree free frefree. 馃き In other words, seniors would no longer have over $340 per month withdrawn for Medicare for their social security. (Why do I get the feeling this is never going to happen?)
I don't know why, but it occurs to me that the huge wealthy health insurance industry might object. I have the feeling that some big money will pile up against Kamala Harris.
I suspect if it did happen, it would be something like V.A. healthcare.
Here's an example of VA healthcare: A friend of mine needed some dental work done by a bone implant specialist. First the VA lied to him and told him the regular dentist was a bone implant specialist, and then when he kicked up a fuss after that dentist botched the job, they gave him the name of the new specialist they are employing, who just finished studying up on the process after fleeing San Francisco because he was a one or two star (out of five) dentist on Healthgrades in San Francisco, and could no longer get patients.
My friend has gone back more than four times, and the VA dentist who did his root canal spent nine hours on it. Root canal for nine hours. Wow.
Even if this plan did not emulate the V.A., I have heard that good doctors would flee. They decided to become doctors to make a LOT of money, not to be paid at Medicare rates. That is why, when you have Medicare, you can't find a doctor who accepts it easily.
Your thoughts? Pros and Cons. I know it's awfully hard, but please try not to be mean and abusive.
