Tonight I attended a lecture on Medicare, Medicare supplements, and Medicaid. The speaker was an expert on health care programs for seniors, of which I am one. What amazed me was how complicated the whole thing is and how people can get caught up in tangles they didn’t even know about.
I can truthfully say that the slogan “Medicare for All” is not a winning slogan for me. The system is complicated, inefficient, and often arbitrary. The drug portion alone is a complicated nightmare.
I give Amy Klobuchar a lot of credit for calling out Elizabeth Warren at the last debate. Warren says she will reveal her plan. I hope she also reveals how she would fix the present complicated and rather arbitrary system.
