the biggest scam is Medicare itself.
“the biggest scam is Medicare itself.”
I could never quarrel with that conclusion. I was in my twenties when Hubert Humphrey won passage of it and health care costs immediately began to rise at a much faster rate. It was only two or three years later when I read a report that claimed that a person entering the hospital for a stay under medicare would owe a copay upon leaving the hospital that was greater than the entire bill was before passage of medicare. Thre are millions who will immediately cry and moan and ask how does anyone think people over 65 could survive without medicare now but that is the wrong question. They should ask what would be the situation for those of us over 65 if medicare had NEVER EXISTED! I say the situation would be far better than it currently is just as there is no doubt that all would be better off if the insanity known as Obamacare had never existed. I am 72 and have NEVER presented my medicare card to any doctor or hospital but I think I would still be better off had it never existed.
