review that document and you will see Medicare is not free. There are deductibles, premiums, copay and some things are excluded. Drug coverage and MD coverage require premiums.
Before anyone throws a celebration about Medicare for all check out the costs. I imagine your glee will disappear.
it would cost us thousands each year before we had a chance to even see an MD or get sick in premiums alone.
Most commercial insurance plans are increasing deductibles, co-pays and other cost-sharing measures, so not sure how Medicare would be that much different. This year I gleefully transitioned from a high-premium, high-deductible commercial plan to significantly more affordable Medicare plan.

i agree with you. But I often see posts that equate Medicare for all with free coverage. Untrue. Some people may actually see increased costs. But no one will have zero coverage.
have you used Medicare much since becoming eligible? Because even one hospitalization can be quite costly
