There’s good news for proponents barking “We need Medicare for all!”. It’s here.
Everyone gets Medicare after their waiting period.
“Remove the waiting period!” should be their message. Currently it is a 65 year waiting period, the longest waiting period for health insurance ever devised by man.
Not only is it the longest waiting period known to mankind, it requires decades of prepayment to the tune of hundreds and thousands of dollars before coverage ever begins.
Medicare For All proponents barking for immediate gratification must be reminded patience is a virtue, a skill worth learning.
What’s the problem? It’s a Premium Paying Policy that eventually morphs into a Claim Paying Policy. If you die first you can’t collect later. The best news is, if nothing kills you first, the coverage is better than most employer sponsored health plans. Low deductible, low co-insurance, never a balance bill, universally accepted. You can’t beat it.
