He thinks that Medicare premiums are "affordable", but Medicare is paid by each individual. So, a family of 5 would pay 5X $130=$650/mo for Part B, then 5X $40= $200/mo for Part D. I don't know what non-retirees would pay for basic hospitalization, Part A, or if non-retirees are eligible for Supplementary Medicare plans. Not all that cheap, when you add it all up. Better than Obamacare $6000 deductibles, I suppose. If non-retirees are charged $130/mo for Part A, then we're talking $1500+ for health premiums. At my last job, AMZN, my take home pay was $1500/mo. Affordable?
