There will be a Senior Citizens march on DC if it happens.

The first move may be an increase in premiums.

and take away everything that helps the non-wealthy.

They started by taking away help for the poor. Now they are moving on to the middle class.

Once the contribution for Part B (and E,F,G,X,Y,Z) takes enough out-of-pocket to reach the number private insurers want, they'll decide "Medicare For All" is wonderful. And by that point, standard subsidized Medicare won't cover much more than band-aids.
