Yet another government-sponsored reason for people to get out of trucking.
I don't care about 2015!! Ill be 65!! Obama can eat my shorts!
If you REALLY believe you will be OK under Medicare, I have a bridge over a river in Death Valley for sale, want to buy it? You are going to be in for a VERY rude awakening! They want older, less healthy people DEAD and will do what they can to help you along towards that goal! Not your shorts! They are a CLASSIC!
OVM, did health care play into your decision, at the time, to move here from Canada ?
You go on and believe that crap.. Joe that's your right as always.... I make less then 2x the federal poverty level... Iam exempt
I'llo? What disease is that?
Called hitting send button with fat fingers whilst typing...lol
I am not obsessed about it like you guys are.... I read a lot of crap on here and most who've made comments are simply reading off the Internet and have no experience.
My official opinion? You guys are screwed! As presented it looks all over the chart
+1 to most of that. I don't know if we're screwed or not but I can get behind the rest of that. I'm thinking (hoping) that both the Ds and the Rs eventually give up a few of their sacred cows and we eventually end up with a single payer system, maybe even one that actually works. But we need to do this in baby steps, for some inexplicable reason we need to go there kicking and screaming. Baby steps is all we can do.
Here's a cost calculator. I don't know if there are better ones out there, I just happened to stumble on this the other day.

It seems to me it's not nearly as bad as some are saying and not nearly as good as others are saying.
Single payer? Why would you want the government in total control of that large a piece of the economy AND your life? They have bankrupted SS, Medicare and Medicade. Welfare increases poverty and the more government gets involved with education the more it costs and the less effective it is. I don't want them involved in health care.
Guess what...?? unfortunately it doesn't matter what you think....you'll go down kicking and screaming, but this is a done deal IMO.....
