Details are important...who gets to buy in? Only uninsured? The true premium for someone in this age range can be high....private insurance seems to be holding fire because I suspect they suspect that Medicare will end up with the sickest patients. In one sense Medicare is the best place to cover them due to ability to spread risk widely. I said earlier this year I would prefer Medicare for all with high deductible ($10,000 ind; $15,000 family) with private insurance on the deductible amount with everyone buying private with after tax dollars.Don Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141749812035072101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3672496731205380327.post-19221610636729566612009-12-09T17:52:27.570-05:002009-12-09T17:52:27.570-05:00Didn't you write before about pushing up the a...Didn't you write before about pushing up the age for Medicare in order to save costs?<br /><br />This seems to be the total opposite.
