I want medicare for everyone (As Keith Olbermann calls it, Medicare Part E). Expanding Medicare seems GREAT to me, but only if it's for everyone.
Agreed. Passing this bill that mandates every American must buy Health Insurance, but then removing the device that would keep insurance affordable and competetive seems like a cruel joke on the lower class, and a shining gift to the insurance companies. I really hope the Democrats have some crazy ace up their sleeves, because right now they're driving the idea of reform into the dirt.
Medicare for Everyone!
