The actions to privitize Medicare deeply and profoundly affects those of us over 65 and currently on Medicare. We, Boots and I, have experienced Medicare for the past 8 and 6 years respectively. We each have our own medical issues, none of which are critical/serious or life-threatening. Medicare has been reasonably priced, even including the supplemental through AARP. We have had no difficulty finding Medicare-connected medical services in our travels across America. Having a single payer (that’s what Medicare is) has proved for us to be the best medical insruance we have ever had!!!
I know that Anchorage does not have many MDs or clinics that accept Medicare and that IS a problem. I believe that Fairbanks has better Medicare options but that does not help Anchorage residents. Though people outside look at the map and think Fairbanks is just a suburb of Anchorage. JJJ
Anyway, check out Rep Paul Ryan’s privitization plan here. I do not think it’s a good idea and will be calling/writing/emailing/tweeting my congrassional delegation. How about you? (https://thinkprogress.org/paul-ryans-next-move-is-an-attempt-to-privatize-medicare-a96eb9ac0a23)
