And if you don't believe me, just look at today's Part B of Medicare. Just try escaping it. I dare you. Government bureaucrats will decide which drugs are and aren't covered. Seniors will lose their existing, private-sector coverage, whether they participate or not.
Experience shows employers drop coverage as soon as the government begins providing it.
It's a bad deal for most seniors. The average senior will get just 13 cents a day of actual benefit. The combination of additional and a high co-pay force you to pay more than you get back in benefits. Incidentally, these costs are on top of your existing Part A, Part B, and supplemental-coverage costs. They come directly out of your monthly Social Security check, whether you want to pay that way or not.
