I have not had insurance my entire adult life, because it was too expensive, and the jobs I was able to work didnt offer it.

the only experience I’ve had with insurance, in my adult life, is handling an elderly relatives medical issues. They have medicare.

Medicare is fucking awesome. Anything they need, poof, its done. no delays, no awaiting approvals, just get it fucking done. Most of their drugs are free (at least until trump gets rid of part d…), and the one that isnt, is only like 5 dollars, for a 90 day supply (so 20 bucks a year for meds). They have had multiple major surgeries, and the copay was like 30 dollars each time.

Not once have they ever been told they cant have a treatment, or that they have to go through some bullshit process of trying 3 other things before they can get the treatment the doctor orders, nothing.

Medicare is fucking awesome and everyone should have it.
