Good point! Olivet is, of course to regular readers, Clarence’s youngest child with wife, Charlene. Also I might add that Clayton is actually Marcy’s step father, which is not really made clear, making Clarence and his brothers her step siblings.
You all know NOTHING about the proposed Medicare4All. The fact of the matter is the current US healthcare system isn’t working. Nobody loves their health insurance. We just need it to be there when we get sick. The problem is insurance companies exist to make a profit and that’s not going to happen if everybody is insured which is why they happily unload people at age 65 (when they are most vulnerable to illness) to a government plan (Medicare). It’s why we have deductibles, premiums, copayments, co-insurance and other hidden cost. It’s why your benefits are capped for a certain amount each year. It’s why when your doctor proposes a certain treatment or test for you, the first thing they do is call the insurance company to ask for permission. It’s why even when authorization is granted, they read you a disclaimer saying just because you they approved treatment, doesn’t mean they will pay for it. It’s why they have a tight network of doctors, hospitals and pharmacy and if you don’t like the choices, too bad. It’s why the pharmacy changes your medicine to a cheaper generic brand because your insurance won’t pay for the one the doctor original prescribed. It’s why if you are insured in New York but go to Florida on vacation and have a medical emergency, you may not be covered because you were out of network. It’s why if you use it too much, like any other insurance, your premiums will go up (or they try to drop you) because you illness is getting in the way of their profits. It’s why when your in the hospital they try to get out as soon as possible, because the longer you stay the less the insurance pays. It’s why when you are in the hospital, the doctor will only agree to see you after he checks out what kind of insurance you have. I could go on, but you get the picture. Medicare4All (not the Medicare program we have now) propose to fix all this. So before you all snap back, try actually looking into it rather than listening to the talking heads who
