"Remarks like this..." I believe it was a legitimate remark. And this is is how Medicare is working for us--public supplemented by private. And it's working quite well for us. Plus ACA meant I could afford insurance with a pre-existing condition without having to pay $700 a month for very poor coverage before age 65. I will never be convinced that without Medicare the insurance companies would have held their costs down. They are for-profit businesses.
