No free lunch. Others are being forced to pay for that 64 yo's low premium. Besides, 64 is too young to retire in most jobs. A few, those that exact a price of the human body, maybe. Then too, there is something called reinvention of ones self. Like when the skill/knowledge set is at its zenith, but the body can't execute. It can be done. Takes a strong will and belief in your value, though.
This is real freedom right there for the elderly. According to the CBO, headed by a republican, a 64-year old has to pay $14 600 for insurance under Trumpcare. Today, he or she pays $1700 on average. The young healthy generations are compelled to subsidize the elderly under the current mandate system. Thats what insurance is. The healthy subsidize the sick. Just like the drivers with no accidents subsidize the ones who do get into accidents.
Trumpcare would devastate rural, elderly America. Thats freedom right there.
Ironically, that's Trump's core base .... they will be hit the hardest by this DontCare proposal.
Expecting someone to pay nearly $15,000/year on health insurance when they only make roughly $27,000/year is downright absurd. How are they expected to live? What about property taxes? Water & electric bills? Car insurance? Groceries? TV/internet/phone bills? They are practically condemning the working poor to death! THIS IS THE REAL DEATH PANEL!!!!!!!!
This proves more than ever that we need an optional public option, Medicare for All. Let's have a true capitalist approach. Let's let Empire BCBS or Aetna or United compete with a public option and see who has the best plan for the people.

The CBO did NOT look at ALL 3 PARTS OF THE PLAN and they are limited to what they can take into consideration.
Besides, when has the CBO EVER been correct?
