Medicare was created in 1966, there should have been a plan to every year reduce the cost to the citizens till we do not have to pay and also have a supplemental plan.

I know Bernie's plan is Medicare for all but there's still a cost . it should be more universal Medicare where especially senior citizens do not have to pay.
we've already paid.

I'm just ranting on a Friday night!!
