re: #181 WindUpBird

How much experience do you have with Medicare? I worked with people who recieved medicare as part of my gig in mental health. For years and years and years. I dealt with medicare all the time. And it was magnificent. It’s the reason I’m so pro-reform. I have actually experienced how smooth and efficient Medicare works.

Ideology is not the answer to this problem.

Here is what Medicare did for the elderly:

“The poverty rate among the elderly, for example, declined dramatically from 35.2 percent in 1959 to 10.1 percent in 2005 and is now lower than for any other age group.”
