My opinion: For those of us who have prepared, saved and have coverage till medicare, it will be fine!
The real mess lies in the fact, that no matter what, if we want to cover everybody, all of us have to pay higher taxes! There is no Democrat or Republican magic bullet in solving this.
There are going to be rules, regulations and limits-there is too much greed in the medical and health establishment and they will always find ways to pad or insert new proceedures and treatments to increase their bottomline.
We have to define what is standard care and what's not covered.
Trickel down economics does not work here.
Although Obamacare is not perferct, no other plan will be perfect-there will always be complaints.
My suggestion is simple- I know I am going to get flacked for this:
My don't we extend medicare to everybody for standard care(if we can agree on what's covered) which will pay for 70%, and the rest is
supplementary insurance(30%) for options or cadillac additions for those who can afford. It work for medicare recipients, why not to all.
