“We disagree on the last part, namely as to whether something can be done.”
I’m still not convinced that something can be done (which will work fairly for those that were already seriously burned by the ACA).
You’re correct when you say that I’m talking from my experience and it seems like the people that you’re talking on behalf of is a fraction of those that are still paying thousand more in health care costs than before the ACA.
I believe that my reasons were compelling enough but if you disagree – we’ll have to just disagree on that.
(Just curious though- I don’t know one way or another- does Medicare have a process by which they approve procedures and deny claims or is everything by default approved?)
Oh- and to your last point- I would love it if they would do that. There are many “if”s that need to be worked out but if there’s a way to work out all those kinks, I’m confident that it would lower the health care costs and encourage those who aren’t eligible to become eligible. Sounds like it may have some growing pains in the beginning but would be a win – win in the long term. I actually like that idea!
