I hate those arbitrary cut offs for aid. Oops, you got a raise and now make $28,100 sorry no more medicare. It locks people into low paying jobs because if they make too much, they instantly loose all the benefits that their little raise doesn’t match.
if we’re not going to do free-for-all, it should at least be on a very large scale,
make less then 28k = 100% covered,
29, 99% covered
30, 98% covered
…
All the way up to when 128k = 0% covered
(You’d have fix healthcare prices too, procedures/medicines are priced so insurance looks like they are doing you a favor “you only had to pay $700 for this $25,000 procedure and the $600 follow up medicine will only cost you $100 a week”)
Agreed, news needs to be held to a higher standard than it is now. There’s a whole list of journalist code of ethics that basically distils to be truthful, minimize harm, be independent, and be accountable.
