We Can Do It
What You See Is What You Get Health Care for All. We can do it, really we can. Universal health care is achievable. If is working well and successfully in numerous other countries. We can learn from their example, avoid the mistakes they have learned from and provide a well appreciated and critical service to our citizens. Wellness and preventative health care and screening will save medical problems from becoming chronic in most cases. How you ask? We already have a great working example in Medicare. As a senior on Medicare with a supplemental insurance policy, my health care has been wonderful and I have numerous conditions that need regular follow-up and monitoring. All I had to do was live until my 65th birthday and paid into Medicare/Medicaid through my payroll deductions. NOTE: If I had passed away before the age of 65 all the money I paid is simply absorbed into the Trust Fund. Incidentally, I am still making a monthly payment for my Medicare coverage - $1560 a year
