2% by employer and employee or will employers have to match the 4% for a total of 8%?

And... I forgot to add:

Gillibrand has no idea how Medicare works. It's not free healthcare. It's not even close.

-There is a Part A deductible for those without 40 quarters of sufficient work coverage.

-Part A deductible for days 1-60 is over $1,300.

-Part A deductible for days 60-90 is over $330 per day.

-Part A deductible for days 91-150 is over $670 per day.

-Days 150+ nothing is covered.

-For Part A's skilled nursing care, there is a $170+ per day deductible for days 21-100.

-Days 100+ nothing is covered.

-There is a monthly $135.50 Part B premium.

-There is a $185 Part B deductible and even then Medicare only covers 80% after the deductible is satisfied.

Most people on Medicare have to purchase a Medicare supplement to cover these gaps and then you have to add on a separate Part D premium. So you have most folks paying between $300 and $500 per month to cover their premiums, supplements and drug plans.

To make matters worse, many states, mine included, expressly prohibit people from purchasing a Medicare supplement prior to their initial enrollment period leading up to their 65th birthday. You can't even obtain a Medicare Advantage plan if you're under 65 unless you've been collecting disability for 24 consecutive months. Unless this is changed as well, Medicare for all isn't feasible. This is demagoguery at its worst, but we shouldn't expect anything else from Kirsten Gillibrand.

What about all the deadbeats that refuse to work?

Absent from all these leftist healthcare proposals is any contribution from the supposed beneficiaries in the form of copays or deductibles. I get my FAA medical done twice a year at a clinic that treats these parasites as part of that doc's primary practice and they all are playing on multiple smart phones and devices in the lobby and travel in vehicles with accessories worth more than the value of the vehicle itself. Why doesn't any of these proposals require a $5 or $10 copay for service usage like we all face when we use our private insurance? I believe there was a bill in the La Legislature for this last session and it didn't even get out of committee. Why? Not even I want people dying in the streets, but if you are trying to engineer a legit healthcare proposal to cover these parasites, why are they never expected to contribute anything? The social compact in this country is dead.
