This is just perfect! He makes it sound so simple and logical. I don't know who could vote against this --

You've got me all excited about Medicare! Somebody said (in another thread) that it would probably cost him/her $80/month in premiums. I went to the Medicare site but couldn't figure it out for myself, but no matter -- I think this would be the answer for so man of us!

BTW, this is Grayson's Medicare Buy In plan... :)

1. Gotta love this guy!

He presents it in a simple, straight forward way. And Medicare is already a functioning entity, it just would need expansion (more jobs). That would be a lot better than starting a whole new government agency from scratch. If private insurance companies can't survive, than let them fail. They've failed so many people for so many years.
