Medicare didn’t treat the patient, a doctor did. Now why doesn’t Schuster, that human pimple, ask the doctor if he would like to do without the monster bureacratic demands of Medicare. Want to bet what the answer would be?

Medicare is like any other federal, and most state, programs that provide money. It comes with all sorts of strings and things. The purpose of most the programs is not to fund a particular activity or need but rather to impose control over a segment of the population.

Medicare is so needlessly complicated and controlling.

But it's the only game in town for a lot of people. Problem is Obama et al want to make sure ALL medical care comes from the government and it's the only game in town.
