Hillary Clinton said this week that she wants to give people age 50 and up, the ability to buy in to Medicare, if they want to.

I'm pretty sure health insurers would love lose a lot of their older customers. But the medical sector would fight this due to the lower reimbursement rates, wouldn't they?

Yeh, as predicted and discussed, she is back on that public option kick. That has actually been up on her website for quite a while but the way the system works is that you have to wait for the media to decide the timing is right for it to be presented as something new and different. The media was complicit in not mentioning it and toning it down when they thought it would hurt Hillary based on its non-reception in 2008. But now that Comrade Bernie is peddling Medicare for All (actually Medicaid for All) she has a lot of pressure on her to show what she would do besides just trashing Bernie's plan.

Hillary has a website? I thought the FBI confiscated her server. Let's crack that mutha and put up some geriatric pantsuit porn!

Just read an article, that back in 2008 (8 yrs ago), the CBO projected the "buy in" cost for medicare would be $7800 per person ($650/mo). And that's probably just for part A & B, with no supp or part D included.

Hilary has not put down the crack pipe yet

I am pretty sure that when all the facts are known, we will find that the primary reason why that Romanian guy was hacking her site was to be able to get at those pics of Hillary.

If that isn't scary enough this is what Hillary is promoting


This is even more scary than her expansion plan of Medicare

At a modest 5% rate increase, compounded since 2009, that's a 2017 premium of $1008 per month. Plus supp & Part D, as you said.

at least that price will be the same for everyone. That's fair and Democratic! Haha.

Oh you think everyone would pay the same premium? How cute.
