One item buried in the 887-page blueprint has attracted little attention thus far, but would have a monumental impact on the health of America’s seniors and the future of one of America’s most popular social programs: a call to “make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment option” for people who are newly eligible for Medicare.
Such a policy would hasten the end of the traditional Medicare program, as well as its foundational premise: that seniors can go to any doctor or provider they choose. The change would be a boon for private health insurers — which generate massive profits and growing portions of their revenues from Medicare Advantage plans — and further consolidate corporate control over the United States health care system.
Killing off old people first, then gradually hitting everyone else … except ofc the wealthy.
I wonder if any rich people have thought about who’s gonna take out the garbage and cook for them when the working class is gone?
Worse: the wealthiest people in the US have the same life expectancy of the poorest people in the UK. Being rich doesn’t really make your life better or you a happy person. It never has, never will. It’ll always and only be the pursuit of control for its own sake.

Considering Millennials and Gen Z are a lot more liberal, maybe killing off the old people isn’t the best idea.
LOL I wonder if those who are thinking this way have the ability to really understand this.
Doesn’t matter if the control is consolidated. No worries about Gen Z do something not profiting big money if these alternatives don’t exist.
