At the beginning of my career once I unloaded my own company because good benefits were killing me. I wanted badly to take care of those who gave their work-life up for me. In the middle of my career, I worked for the most honorable man that gave us benefits that were fit for a king. I will always be grateful to that man. We had some rough years medically speaking and his great coverage saved us. At the end of my career, we paid about $250 a week and had limitations that were unbelievable. My wife one son and myself were covered and the office visits covered for the year was capped at 10 visits. The deductibles were sky-high, it wasn't good.
The Villages Medicare Advantage is Heaven On Earth for us. I am grateful beyond words for the security it provides.
Whatever the candidates are speaking of at this early point in the election game is a big zero for me. They will change many times from now until the election. I think its the last 30 days before the election are the days that count the most.
I'm not for giving anything free to anyone.

If, and not sure whether you are or not, you are implying that Medicaire was free.....sorry, as a young guy used to complain about that deduction each paycheck, but now along with a Medgap policy (that I also pay for), it is working great for us anyway.
So many think that Medicaire was not paid for by the participants....and not true
