For sure, somebody (including me) is going to pay because it's not going to be free. Just saying..........

We have United Health Care Medicare Advantage PPO because we have no other choice. I'm not happy but when my former employer quit paying my supplement as a retirement benefit it really left us few choices. The good thing about our Plan we can go to any doctor anywhere. That is important to us.
No exclusion for pre-existing conditions was probably the one and only good point in 2700 pages. But it does come with a price tag for everybody, at the same time it was the right thing to do. There were probably better ways to accomplish this as well---after all, name one thing that government has interjected itself in that did end up costing way more than it should
