(6,295 posts)I read Biden's plan. It includes a public option. It expands Medicaid no matter what state you live in.
It's not Medicare for all, because it doesn't exclude the current insurance industry.
Somehow, I think that's what you don't like about it.
Or maybe you didn't read about Biden's plan. I just did. I think, if he can pull it off, it will work.
SO! Tell me about this 10 million uninsured. They are not at the very low end - that's covered by Medicaid. They aren't the elderly - they're covered by Medicare.
There's a tax credit so that your health insurance can't be more than 8.5% of your income. So, it's affordable. If you're making $15K a year with no kids. $1275/year or $100/month. It won't be easy, but it's doable.
From what I can see, if you are uninsured on Biden's plan, it's because you want to be.
But, OK, let's say you can't afford $100/month. Is that the 10 million uninsured?

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
