Educational link of the day:
Why Medicare for all=Medicare for none

Short comment: there's a reason people are duking it out over Social Security reform right now -- because it's relatively easy. There is going to be some real ugliness over Medicare reform. That dumbass drug benefit passed a while back will probably be the proximate cause of the Medicare reform debate, but even without that huge addition to costs a showdown was coming on the near horizon.

My own advice: stay healthy. And hope whatever ailments you do have are treatable by currently existing medicine and procedures.

my total emergency room bill in Berkeley was literally 10 times more than the emergency room bill for a similar level of care for an uninsured visiting relative of a friend in Toronto.
