    Probably "take care of yourself plan".  When it comes to good, basic preventative health measures, taking care of one's self, having a good diet, getting exercise, all of that is something each person can do to have better health.  But what about the rest?  I had my once in a long while general physical recently and thought most of the blood work done in the lab was covered by medicare.  And then the bill showed up.  Medicare covered something like $1.28  The rest is out of pocket.  This will only get worse under the GOP.
    Exactly why I have no interest in Medicare for All. Medicare sucks. I've been caring for my mom for several years now, and Medicare doesn't cover jack. Now, if you're dying, they'll pay for your hospital care. That's about it. You have to be near death for Medicare to cover anything.

    Oh now you tell me that after spending the afternoon getting a heart stress test and electrocardiogram, lol.

    The good news is, if these test all come out well I'll figure I'm in good enough shape to not need to go see a doctor for at least a couple of years.  It's getting too expensive!

    So, what is the alternative to Medicare for All?

    We don't need no stinkin' plan!

    I pay outright for my portion of various medical visits but won't even look at any of the related bills beyond what my insurance covers.  I'd be fucked or dead without it and can't for the life of me understand why access to decent and affordable care is granted for one but denied to another.  I'm no richer, valuable, loved or anything else than others; I'm just lucky to live within a mile of one of the best hospitals and my previous employer got us a major and reliable provider.

    Even at that, once COBRA kicks in, it'll be quite expensive, but again, I'm fortunate it's doable.  I think.
