The Citizen-Times

The person who wrote “People, not government should decide care” may have had a bad experience when the military was providing the health care. But, those of us on Medicare certainly do not have those problems. The majority of doctors are glad to have Medicare patients, and I have not had a problem getting care from whichever doctor I choose who honors Medicare.

Since with Medicare you go to any doctor who handles it, and the government pays part of the bill. If you do not want to pay the remainder, you simply purchase a supplement plan that covers the balance not covered by Medicare.

We need Medicare for all, not either the ACHC passed by the Republicans in the House, or the current plan called Obamacare!
