I cannot agree with you on this. The proposal will provide future seniors access to all the plans now available to all government employees including members of Congress. As Richie observed the government will provide a subsidy based upon the individual's income and wealth. No senior would have to go to the emergency room for routine care. This would be a vast improvement over existing Medicare where some cannot afford the essential supplement.
After all, haven't many of us always said we want the same plan that Congress gets?
