RE: Grayson’s Medicare bill
I just want to point out that opening Medicare to all who want to sign on was always the easy option and can be implemented, as was the Medicare D program, by making adjustments through reconciliation. What this solution does not address is the partial privatization that was orchestrated with the “supplemental” programs and contracts with insurance and HMOs that have been charging back high administrative costs and “profits.” It’s this partnership with private insurance which has led many Medicare clients to think that they are in a private program. When they get messages from insurers to review options, that the message is not authorized by the government is in very small print. -
Also, I would argue that the age restrictions violate the equal protection clause since age has nothing to do with whether or not people are injured or get sick.
There are many other things to fix. For example, if there’s universal coverage, there’s no reason to maintain separate workmen’s comp programs and small businesses could be relieved of paying into that fund. And injury coverage could be removed from auto liability insurance policies. Instant no-fault and tort reform.
The middle men are going to be squeezed.
