Topsinmo. I said the same thing when this topic was discussed about two years back on this forum. One of the biggest lobbyist responsible for this class distinction AARP. They pushed hard for ACA because they wanted a big junk of Medicare Advantage Plan . Its when AARP supported ACA that I dropped my membership and haven't been back since. AARP doesn't represent my interests but only their own greedy selfish goals
the specific question I asked is why isn't this practice discrimination? The federal government established protected classes to prevent discrimination but apparently because the elderly are not a protected class they can go fish
And if you apply their desparate impact theory which is essentially (bupkus) it certainly has an adverse affect on a specific group in this case retired military
I receive my care from Monroe Hospital and doctors affiliated with this Health Care system and they are honored to accept my insurance plans
