In response to “Even with Medicare, seniors pay and pay“
This is ridiculous for the upcoming seniors! I am totally against this bill and will veto it OUT and get everyone I know to do the same. I haven’t paid all this money during my working years so that I still have to pay $197,000 out-of-pocket expenses throughout my retirement! I am a very angry, soon-to-be-retirement-age senior!

I have been an insurance broker for 28 years and grant you that our health system needs some adjustments. One of the best ways to fix it would have been to have gone back to basics and get rid of the the PPOs and the HMOs. We could go back to pure deductible and co-insurance so that people would have some idea as to pure cost, not all the freebies. I would also suggest to not have group plans, just individual only. Being able to purchase health insurance across state lines would cut the cost to the insurance companies of having to file different plans in each state. It would also help control the cost and bring the premiums down. We have lost our way; let’s find it one more time.
