(11,122 posts)If your employer changed providers, would you be outraged because they took away your insurance? How would Medicare as your provider be different?
Is money deducted from your salary to pay your premiums? Would you like to have the amount your employer pays for your premiums added to your paycheck instead?
In order for you to keep your "work" insurance, hundreds of thousands of people must do without insurance. Is that a concept that you can easily accept? Do you have CEO insurance with no premiums or deductibles or copays? All the talking heads on the cable channels receive golden insurance plans even though they are millionaires who could afford to foot their insurance.

If you are an ordinary working stiff - like I was for years before my retirement - Medicare will be a vast improvement over the crap insurance that you receive now. My Medicare premiums are lower and give me more choice and coverage and security (it won't be yanked away any year without notice) than I ever had on my previous plans.
