I have fantastic insurance through my wife who has a job with NYC. It’s a game changer. You stop worrying about the cost and start taking care of yourself. I’d lose this coverage if Medicare for All rolled out and, even then, I’d be ok with that because it’s better for the country.
I've got kind of the same thing for my daughter, except that she's so medically complex you basically resign yourself at the beginning of the year to paying $5500/year for the deductible on top of the premiums you're paying no matter what so you might as well get your money's worth.
To be fair, we've gotten excellent care and I can only think of two denials. Daughter was born 3 months early so that requires a lot of appointments and stuff but she's doing really well now compared to where we were.
(flames and ashes of a destroyed nation in the background) "Guys, we gotta start doing something useful soon."
DOnT bE a DoOmEr!!!
I could have trump support Medicare for all pretty easy.
"Mr. President, it is the greatest honour of my life to speak to you today. As every American knows you care more for this country and have done more for it's people than any president in any country ever. But there's one thing you could do to both secure your legacy as the best leader far into the future and stick it to your enemies. Trump care. Think about it Mr. President. This is something the radical far left lunatics have been saying YOU can't do this whole time. You could dismantle Obamacare, thus erasing that unamerican plutocratl from history forever, and prove all your haters wrong. Just expand existing medical infrastructure, say Medicare for example, and release the Obamacare sucks Trump care forever act. Mr. President this is it, this is your legacy. And if anyone stands in your way then they were against you all along."
Boom, got trump supporting Medicare for all
There is an alternate timeline where Trump remained a Democrat and blew up the budget by giving the people everything they ask for to become the most remembered president of all time.
Its not even a timeline that's super far away, just one where Democrat establishment use him and are in his ear instead.
