So pick your poison -> increased wealth due to increased profitability? or a social service with a fixed flat rate, with a shared cost for all to be available for all retirees?
It’s absolutely amazing the amount of stuff one gets in the mail starting six months before turning 65. After sorting through all the bull$hit, it becomes clearly apparent there is a very strong riptide trying to flush the recipient into the Advantage Plan cesspool. There is no attempt to guide the recipient in the direction of traditional Medicare with a supplemental (Medigap) plan. Read into that as you please, but I know how I interpret it.
