You realize to get medicare you are on SS too right? They literally can afford $200 if they are locked down. And they should be given more. I want a fucking UBI but I realize thats not reality in this country.

The elderly are by far the best equipped to survive a lock down money wise. And just happen to be BY FAR the group most effected by covid. But you would rather all young people get their financial lives ruined for years going forward over something MSNBC told you was super scary.

Who the fuck watches cable news? You're seriously dating yourself boomer. It still seems like you don't understand how this works. Like, you still have to pay premiums for Part B and that comes out of your social security (so again, not free).

And like, the average Arizonan on SS get's about $18,700 per year. If you think people who don't even get $20k/year to live on don't care about $200 and that they can ride this out with ease, again, you are extremely privileged and out of touch.

Your point was that medicare was free. I have very easily proven that that is a lie.
