The California Medicare, "Medi-Cal" is infinite better than all of the terrible federal plans. I've had to go to the doctor 3 times since I've been on it and didn't pay a dime. I went to emergency for a broken a rib, didn't pay a dime, had a $15 Norco prescription. My brother had all his doctor visits, biopsies, scans, blood work, and everything but the actual chemo pill ($65/mo using Mark Cubans online pharmacy.) California fuckin blows in a lot of ways and while there is absolutely room for improvement for some of it, it's actually a usable system IF you qualify (poor/disabled/minor.)
There is talks of expanding it to more people and I really hope they do.
I honestly assumed this was some sort of scam due to being associated with the Shark Tank guy. Have your brother's experiences been mostly positive? My FIL is undergoing chemo, as well, so it would he awesome if this could lower the costs for him.
Yeah it's actually legit. Honestly the only good thing I can say about the guy is he saw a wedge in the market where he only charges an extra I think a flat 10-20% of the medications. Obviously he is still profiting but compared to all other pharmacies it's pretty much the best for life saving medications
I used the ACA until 2020 and it was garbage insurance with high deductibles that didn't cover shit

That's Medicaid, Medicare is the federal one for old folks

New Jersey's Medicaid is great too
