As far as I can see, Medicare works very well for people over 65 years old. In many ways, it does seem better than the "socialized" medicine in other countries. Why is it, that we can't have a universal plan that works like Medicare does?

I think the Obama Administration missed the boat by trying to re-hatch Hilary Clinton's plan from the early 1990s, which also tried too hard to appease the insurance companies. The "Obamacare" plan that did pass, just doesn't seem very satisfactory - although I'm very glad that my 22-yr-old stepson will be included on my plan for a few more years.
