That seniors would have to pay 6400 dollars more for health care or be left on the streets to die is a gross generalization of the proposed plan. As I understand it, you would have to pay for your coverage according to your ability. The very poor would have the same coverage as the rich, but their premiums would be subsidized 100%. I don't understand why anyone thinks that just because you reach the age of 65 you shouldn't have to pay for healthcare. Or, that you shouldn't have to pay for healthcare at any age? How would that work? Right now, those of us who are working are paying for medicare for anyone and everyone, no matter what they're worth. I believe that is theft. I will contribute willingly to cover the costs of the poor elderly. But only the poor.

My doctor is a good friend, and is now 65. I know he is enrolled in medicare because he told me so. I also have a pretty good idea that he can afford to pay for insurance - I've seen his houses. - but under current law no such insurance is even available!
