Is Medicare Popular?
- 21750 POINTSview profileJim WinklerCEO/Owner, Winkler Financial Group, Houston, TexasThat is a great question! If you are someone who will struggle with being able to afford quality healthcare when you turn 65, then yes, it is very popular. If you are someone who believes that each person should be financially secure enough to be able to pay for themselves, and that "I shouldn't have to help pay for anyone else's care", then it probably isn't. The sad fact is that according to the 2012 census data nearly 55% of all Senior Citizens live in poverty, and without Medicare/Medicaid, we would have an awful lot less Senior Citizens. It is available to all Americans once they reach the age of 65, and that makes it very popular. Thanks for asking!Answered on June 18, 2014flag this answer
