Well according to FB, they are phasing out Medicare giving people $ 9k vouchers and then the familys will have to decide if Grandpa can have that life - Epiphany Nov 16, 06:55 14
- Some of my cousins are suspect. They're totally going to get it. -- nm* - Mel Profit Nov 16, 07:05
- They want to replace Medicare with the Old Yeller Treatment? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 07:04 2
  - or TWD..."Look at the flowers" -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 07:05 1
    - That's more appropriate. Walking dead, indeed. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 07:35
- Ryan has not determined the voucher values yet. That 9k is a made up number. And the intent is to phase the vouchers out over time -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:03 9
  - is this more FB shennigans? so in essence - Medicare will completely go away - no vouchers no nothing? - Epiphany Nov 16, 07:14 8
    - The article I read said a 10 year phaseout -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:19 7
      - gracias - what is to replace it? nothing? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 07:25 6

        so they are suggesting that people on social security go out and buy their own insurance? - Epiphany Nov 16, 07:37 3
        
        yep, and one economic study shows the prices will likely more than double as well. -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:40 2
        
        Insuring older people is a very expensive proposition. This is one of those things where people think they aren't getting the benefit of entitlements - pmb Nov 16, 08:07 1
