Wonder what they would do with TriCare for life for retired military if they would put them in there too. I forgot about the Parts and medigap. The new ICD10 is insane how they code now. I'm glad not to be in the 70,000 codes in it now. If everyone thrown into that plan steal private policy funds or healthcare savings grabbing for anything they can. S.1655

No idea, those with Tricare are fortunate, even those with VA somehow. Some complain about long waiting for medical procedures, but still, have good coverage.

Senate Bill 1655 regarding Medicare for All. TriCare from what read will be exempt, for how long time will tell.

Thank you, Janet.

Something is fishy: тАЬ cover items and services that are medically necessary or appropriate to maintain healthтАЭ. Like vaccines? What could be NECESSARY or APPROPRIATE to mantain health? ЁЯдг What ITEMS could maintain health? Or what SERVICES?

The officials may give sugar to a diabetic then have to provide service of insulin. It is strange to myself also. They use vague words. A necessary or appropriate to take sugar out of everyone's diet.

ЁЯдг the wording is misleading on purpose. English is my fourth language. I am certain that the bill was written but someone who knew how to play with words. If I am healthy, there is no service or action someone else ( medical establishment) can do for I to maintain it. ЁЯдг We can see how they тАЬmaintainedтАЭ the health of American people in the last 4 years. ЁЯлг

Words that could have several meanings depending on the context. I've seen old mainframes "maintained" in nice cold environments. Sometimes insects would get in, them pesky bugs. Think around the time of Grace Hopper USN reserve.

Adriana thanks for the edit. It may have something with micro/nano internet of things. It's been a while since around concepts.
