I've been on Medicare, with the AARP supplement, for almost 6 years, and
it's really painless. Most all good physicians take it, (and to be honest,
several have said that Medicare reimburses at a higher rate that private
insurance, with less paperwork and aggravation). I have arrived at the
decision that physicians that don't take it let their crappy political
beliefs, or maybe more just plain greed, get in the way of their oath. I'm
fully for single payer systems.
And I am biased, as my paternal grandparents were both MD's, licensed in
1911 and 1912, and just squeaked by financially. I understand the whole
business of student loans, but I don't understand the business of palatial
homes and supercars.

Health insurance is an abomination. (My new favorite word.) As Joan, a now

Single-payer, everyone covered, no exceptions.
We can and should afford it. All we have to do is decide it's worth it.
And stop being the world's leading death merchant. We've killed far too
many brown people for no good reason. And we've piped far too much money
into the coffers of the wealthy on the assumption, or should I say
promise,
that it will trickle back down to everyone.
It hasn't. It's in massive cash stockpiles. As far as I'm concerned it's
time to pick up the pitchforks and play fetch the money.
