What kind of a stupid question are you asking? You just finished saying above that there are millions of Americans without health insurance who would love a Medicare "deal". WHO the heck do you think those people are ?

The question responds to your stupid notion of Medicare's cost of "$2,000 for a family of four." (It would actually be $1,800.) Theresa, you are the one who brought up paying for Medicare for a family of four. I suspect it was a slip of the tongue in written words. Because Medicare doesn't cover Mom, Dad, and young Chad and Brittany. Medicare in a household typically covers 2 old people, or 1 person, as in your case. I suppose that if one of a 70- and 72-year-old couple's 93- and 95-year-old parents live with them, it could be 4 people with Medicare, but it would not be a nuclear family as we understand it, would it?
And you've apparently forgotten the ACA debate. So I'll try to go slowly. Remember the proposed "public option?" You could probably look it up. It would have been an option for Americans to opt into a Medicare-like coverage vs. being gouged by health insurance companies. People would have loved to have Medicare's coverage. And to have it for $450 a month in 2024? People would love it! But they were/are not eligible for it, because the health insurance companies made damn sure Senate Finance Chair Max Baucus (D-MT) wouldn't advance a bill out of committee with a public option in it. And Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel didn't have the stones to stand up to him.
Also, who TF pays 50-60% of their earnings in federal taxes for Medicare or anything? I'll answer it for you: no one. Where did you pull that one out of?
Oh wow I was off by a whopping $200. Tell me how many families can afford $1,800 a month when they cannot afford it now. What a joke. And BTW Mr. Know it allтАж.two old people pay two premiums not one and two supplemental plan costs and two drug plan costs. You are arrogant and rude and condescending. Let me say that slowly. RUDE
AND IN EUROPE тАЬFREEтАЭ healthcare comes with a HIGH TAX PRICE TAG
But you still haven't explained those odd families with 4 people on Medicare.
OK, I may be arrogant. And when someone says something really dumb (like a family of four being on Medicare), I can at times condescend.
But on rudeness, I respond in kind. This happens a lot on TFP comments. When someone realizes their argument went flat long ago, they break out the insults. If it wasn't sad, it'd be amusing.
