" You've obviously paid little attention to what I have said", Kind of true, but I did read your post about student loans and since I have worked at a place that originates and services student loans for 10 years I do you know you didn't have a clue what you where talking about.
The point is most seniors have paid for it their whole lives without complaining about it, and it will never be taken away. The same would be true for Medicare for all. Whats the difference if you are charged via taxes your whole life or charged up front. Why has there been no such public outcry in the past.
My only complaint about Medicare - as a taxpayer - is that it is far too generous. I know of no procedure it will not cover. I speak from some experience since I just finished a rather lengthy series of procedures at Duke for which my total copayment came to less than $1200. Cost of gas for my gluttonous Silverado for the 720 mile round trips to Durham probably came close. This is troubling to me because sooner or later we are going to have to deal with the issue of rationing, and with the cost of heroic measures to keep the near-dead alive for a few extra weeks. Death panels, though I'd prefer to call them something else.
