Think the Pukes would be amenable to that proposal?

Maybe we can use all that extra money saved to fund the NSA

Doesn't matter. Single-Payer always was--and will always be--off the table

I am eligible for Medicare in November. I quit working at a public school district in Florida in 2011. If I was still there, would I keep their insurance over Medicare? Hell, no. At $160/month with a $3,500 a year deductible with 50% payout afterward? I will go with Medicare. We should ALL have Medicare.
