But it doesn't cover everything, and the suppplements are excruciatingly, needlessly complicated to figure out and cost way too much. What we need in this country is universal health care for all that isn't tied to employment and isn't full of loopholes that provide incentives for private insurance companies to exploit people. But this country is too stupid to figure out what many countries have known for a long time: that healh care is a HUMAN RIGHT, not a luxury item only the wealthy are entitled to! "GRUMBLE"
