Like the private insurance you describe as being spread out, so is Medicare. Some use more, some use less, or not at all. My brother and his wife both died before they could use any of it of which they had paid. She was not yet 65 and he had just turned 65. Just like your private insurance that you are so proud of, their portion is being spread to those fortunate enough to still live. People die on a daily basis without ever collecting a penny of what they paid. That's why it is INSURANCE, just as your private one is. Hopefully, you will never lose that private insurance that you have, because if you do, you will have to prove insurability to get another or get a supplement to go with your original Medicare (that is surmising that you can even get any of the Medicare you so nobly rejected).

Did your brother and wife smoke?
Were they fat ass people?
Did they put on sunblock or tanning oil?
Did they take care of themselves?
That is the part that makes no sense. People live carelessly and then want somebody else to help them.
I am healthy, age 53 male, that is not on any prescriptions, have no health issues, do preventive medical testing (PSA, cholesterol, Colonoscopy, etc) at recommend times.
But my health insurance premiums have increased about 50% over the last 3 years. I am currently at $1350 a month.
That is ridiculous that I have to pay that much so the insurance companies can provide care for some fat ass that smoked way after it was guarenteed to cause health problems. Obammacare sucks! I am sick of giving lazy people money that I worked hard for!!
And to the people worried about pre existing conditions being included...I am sure the insurance company is fine with that, as they can make the premiums so high it would be better for your family if you drove off a cliff.
