"There’s an easy solution. Get rid of Medicare all together. If the elderly and disabled can’t afford health care let nature take its course."


Nope. Can't do that. Wouldn't be prudent.


The Dims & RINO's will keep giving away your tax dollars in those ponzi schemes until war is declared, by the young, against the elders.


One thing is quite certain ... Congress needs to be ridden out of town on a rail, followed closely by the inhabitants of the WhiteHouse, and some of those will require tarring with a feather applique.

Muslim Andre Carson just won the special election for US House of Representatives here in Indiana.
The thrust of his campaign was “saving Social Security and Medicare for seniors”

What a crock of schnitzel.

What we should do is a top-down evaluation of the government. Review and eliminate overlap. Currently, without the medical side of things, we have over 265 departments, organizations and units of the government that handle some form of welfare disbursement. I beleieve the last count the medical side was some 87 or 88 groups.

We reduce it to 5. 1) Housing. 2) Food. 3) Job training. 4) Medical. 5) Misc.

Take the top 10% of workers from each of the other departments. We can save billions, and trillions in overpayments, medical fraud, waste, management, overhead, facilities, etc.

Medicare could be tighter and be a properly run insurance organization. Not paying the doctors or other providers directly, but pay the insurance company premiums for folks. It greatly reduces the overhead, and gives a LOT of people back their lives.

Welfare would no longer have $.12 of every dollar getting back to the recepients.
