  12. In the U.S., you can withdraw at 55. Health insurance waits until 65

    In the U.S., you can withdraw from a 401(k) penalty-free starting at 55. But Medicare doesn't begin until 65. Who pays during that 10-year gap?

  13. @IndyMediaAus
    Private Healthcare Providers are simply #Leeches and #Unethical ones at that.

    That is not to say that the health workers they employ share the same social guilt. I’d wager most workers do in fact care for patients unlike their #Grifting corporate employers and the #Usurious #Insurance companies.

    Making a #Living from providing healthcare services is socially responsible.

    Making a #Profit from healthcare is #Inhuman.

    Ban #ForProfit Health Insurance
    Beef up #NotForProfit Health Insurance regulations
    Boost #Medicare (also include #Dental cover) for a comprehensive public healthcare system.

  14. How does Mr Trump feel about helping Americans?

    President Donald Trump made these remarks during an Easter luncheon at the White House on April 1, 2026. The event was closed to the press, but a video stream of the speech was briefly broadcast live on the White House social media accounts before being taken down. During the remarks, Trump stated: "Don't send any money for daycare, because the United States can't take care of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We […]

  15. "The counter to this chaos is simple—and it’s something we’re starting to hear about on the stump from Democratic candidates....

    We could have a national health insurance program, better known as “Medicare for All.” Given the wreckage of the #Trump era, Medicare for All has a lot to recommend."

  16. Private health insurance has become one of Australia's biggest corporate welfare schemes.

    The last federal budget handed the industry $8 billion in taxpayer subsidies. Meanwhile, Bupa paid $536 million to its UK parent company, and NIB spent $214 million on marketing and commissions alone.

    Just five insurers control 82% of the market. They lobby for more public money, deliver returns that rival or exceed the big banks, and pour millions into advertising that helps convince Australians they can't afford to be without private cover.
    After paying around $70,000 in premiums, Michael West received less than a month's worth back when he lost hearing in one ear. Medicare covered most of the operation.
    Watch Michael West unpack where your premium dollars — and your tax dollars — are really going.

  17. Study published Mar '26, proves clearly that U.S. whites are for redistribution (progressive taxation, Medicare), UNLESS or UNTIL you ask them to compare to racial #minorities. Then, U.S. whites are willing to end such programs, rather than let blacks get assistance.
    This echos the '60s when whites closed #schools, pools, rather than allow #blacks in. Cut off my nose, to spite their face.

  18. The people in the #USGovernment who decided how #Medicare ID numbers look failed spectacularly.
    Medicare numbers are an 11-digit string of letters and numbers. That's already dumb, because letters are harder to read clearly over the phone than numbers.
    Worse, they've allowed both 0/O and 1/l in them, making the written form also ambiguous.
    These were already well-known issues before these decisions were made; #Usability testing also would have revealed them.
