I'm curious... are you happier on Medicare? (Is your Medicare supplemented by a company?). Or would you prefer to be on your employer's healthcare plan?
Can we please have an intelligent, non-political discussion on this?

I used to be on private health insurance with a big company until I retired. It was a great plan paid for by the company. However, when I turned 65 I did not have a choice. I had to go on Medicare. Which I think most companies do to save money. I agree, the company paid plan was much better than Medicare.
Many people are not as fortunate as us. Medicare may be their only option or improve ACA.
