I'm sick and tired of the health care haters bashing for the last 10 years. Medicare extended to the 55 and over would save J3P 800-1200 bucks a month. It's like a huge raise that he can pay down debt or put a roof over his head or pay his ridiculous upside down mortgage. Hell yes you can still go broke with the 20 percent (not covered) and you will still have to work just to pay for the secondary insurance. It prob solves the California budget problem with legacy healthcare. WTFDIK.

That's exactly what will happen. The "well" 55-64 year olds will have better, cheaper options. They medicare group will be adversely selected (i.e, sicker, more expensive).

I still haven't heard the all important "who pays" part. It won't be the insured themselves, that much you can count on. It'll likely be put on the middle class, just like the wars, the unemployment burden, the "financial crisis" and everything else over the last 30 years.
