Medicare on it's own is really only catastrophic coverage, but the supplementals are great.
As far as Bernie and his single payer scheme goes, it won't work. Stating that Medicare has to be saved is a scam in order to make us believe that it needs to be saved in order to get his single payer system in. The fact is that now with President Trump in the White House and both houses of
Congress with Republican majorities, Bernie has become even less significant then he ever was. Any type of socialist scheme that he thinks he is going to get done has even less chance now than it did when the democrats had some power.

My brother pays more for medicare supplements than I do for full coverage BC/BS. I pay NO deductibles, only co-payment. Medicare supplements are just another form of private insurance. It is a pity that one pays all their career for medicare, only to find out that it only pays for hospitalization once you are 65. This is nothing more than a slush fund for congress.
