Would this be in addition to Medicare B premium, or in lieu of? And taxed based on taxable income, is that computed annually or per paycheck? Also, if a Medicare recipient had no taxable income, would they just continue to pay the current premium of $99.90?

What a shame California’s elected officials like US elected officials car more about the health insurance companies than the do there citizens. People forced to take whatever their employer offers instead of being able to choose for themselves the Doctor they want to see. I have great insurance at a very low price but many will die because they don’t. If am willing to pay a little more so that everyone can see the Doctor of our choice, why aren’t you all willingl to pay less?

I support single-payer healthcare. My husband and I have a small business and we had to stop paying for medical insurance for ourselves and our staff because we simply cannot afford it. My husband is diabetic and I need ongoing ophthomological care but had to decide whether to pay the rent or the medical insurance. The rent won out!

Medicare will be folded into the single payer plan and your premium in the form of a tax will be based on your taxable income. You will no longer need your Part D prescription coverage since all prescription drugs will be included in your single payer coverage. I hope this helps…

I will support the bill if you can point to one example of where single payer works. By “works” I mean the following:
– does not lead to higher costs.
– does not lead to less care.
– does not lead to long waits (months) for care
– does not lead to certain treatments not available to all who are in the program
– does not lead to less efficiency in administering the program.
– does not lead to less efficiency in administering the medical care.
– does not redistribute the fruits of labor from one group (those who earned it) to others (those who didn’t earn it) without their consent (involuntarily).

If someone is on Medicare with Part D prescription coverage and are still working, would their premiums for this coverage be waived or reduced?

Why wasn’t this put on as a proposition many years ago so that the voters could have voted & put it in place?
