Get rid of all Medicare, Medicaid.
Get rid of Reagan's EMTALA.
End all .gov subsidies and contributions, ie your money.
Paying cash will take care of the rest.

Why, it's not an entitlement? I paid into it for 45 years and still pay for it after I'm on it.
IIRC, annual Medicare fraud costs the government more than Medicare itself. That's what needs to be gotten rid of.

Paying cash will take care of the rest. So long as you don't need surgery, prescriptions, tests, or a doctor then it'll work fine.

Yes, Medicare is the problem, and it has been destroying the budget, the way laws are passed, and the medical system since 1965.
A system of payments that is open-ended cannot coexist with Constitutional money and a rational appropriation process. Medicare has relied on money-printing and borrowing since 1986.
IF insurance for over-65s is to continue, either fixed payments have to be adopted (you get $10K/year to buy insurance or pay your bills), OR strict rationing has to be adopted. There is no other way.
