Two things I will add. Wait times in the US are not all that great either. Trying to get to a specialist can be a long wait. I just went through a bout with skin cancer. From diagnosis to removal was 2 1/2 months. I called other surgeons and could not get a quicker first appointment than I did in the dermatology practice I was in. While not an emergency skin cancer is not something you can wait on either. Second I have had a lot of interaction with those insurance workers. Let em go.

Right! We looked for a primary doctor in N.H. and some would not even take Medicare! And others not taking new patients and throw you to the NP or PA. When we finally found one, now hubby has to wait until mid March to see him and that appt. was booked in January! I have to wait until April and I had to call 3 times to get the appt!

Its more than just $150/month though right? The proposal I’ve read includes raising the medicare tax on wages to 4%.

I’m not opposed to raising the medicare tax, since I’ve paid it for 40 working years, and now that I’m on Medicare I pay the monthly cost, so it seems fair for seniors to expect the working people under 65 to pay a little more.

I thought I read an additional 4% tax on all forms of income.
