    Medicare is already privatized. That is what they are talking about when they Medicare Advantage. I have a friend who I help with his Medicare each year. He has Medicare Advantage through Assurance health. It has no deductible just copays up to a maximum of $3900 yearly. Covers everything regular Medicare covers and also covers prescriptions, eyes, even dental. And No premium. 
    He has used three different companies so far to keep the $0 premium.  Blue Cross and another I don't remember the name. 


    But it is privatized Medicare.
