Obamacare will limit the administrative costs of health insurance to 20% which is a little more than the 2% claimed by Medicare. Obamacare will increase the number of insured which will improve the health of the general public. Unfortunately, Obamacare doesn't have a public option which would allow the insured to move from one state to another without switching insurance carriers. The Republicans would have allowed private insurance plans to cover more than one state. Bernie Sanders proposal to drop the age of Medicare to 55 was rejected, maybe he should of just asked to drop it to 62 when people become eligible for SS. There is no effort to vaccinate people for hepatitis A and B (there are vaccines available). Of course, abortion isn't covered. -- Ron
