Now because of advanced age, I have Medicare. No privateer's Med Advantage.
But vanilla government provided Medicare, and it is enough. What since Lyndon Johnson the aged have been entitled to receive. It is a public good to honor the aged, the elders. Tell that to some politicians, and it would be like wailing at the Wailing Wall. If someone's God does not hear, nobody will.
During my lifetime I went in large measure without coverage. Lucky, I survived.
Others were not that lucky. Just as we have people living in tents on sidewalks (when not moved by the diligent police), that being in the wealthiest nation history has known, we have sick people untreated, or forced into medical bankruptcy. While other civilized nations do differently. We pay twice as much for less. We are getting fucked.
That said, I appreciate my dermatologist and hope she resists burnout from the way her days are used and her time billed. She is a professional. She is nice. She works on the clinic's fourth floor. But without Medicare I'd not be past the bean counters of the first floor, the gatekeepers. It is a bastards' arrangement we suffer.
Medicare for All is my litmus test for a real government vs. a punch in the face.
