Narrator: Bernie Sanders wants "medicare for all." I don't know about that. Woman: First your mom has to burn through all her assets. After she's indigent, Medicaid starts paying for her nursing home. Usually not the best nursing home. Narrator: On one hand, my Mom's hip surgery only cost me $1,000 out of the $141,000 billed by the hospital. $29,000 per night in hospital. Just for the room! This is criminal. But the "Pay Down" provision in medicare-medicaid is savage. Snotty Teen Me in 1970's: We never go away on any vacations! A teachers Salary. So her savings could go up predatory heathcare providers: I save 1/2 my salary so you won't have to worry about me after I retire. Only in America would such a sick idea be considered an "improvement." Man: I go bankrupt and I get Healthcare? OMG that's awesome!
