Understood. So you never really gave much thought to the justification, nay, the authority under which Medicare, etc came into existence? If in fact these programs are truly unconstitutional abominations, what if anything should or can be done about it now? Or do we simply muddle along in hopes the printing presses hold up longer than we do? One heck of a legacy for our kids and grandkids isn’t it?
Oh I totally understand that almost everything the Federal Government does is Unconstitutional. I have been on it for twenty years. I am watching as a lot of people go through the same shock I did twenty years ago when I was made aware. I must say it is encouraging. As for medicare hey it is here. I think the government should get out of all healthcare and maybe provide a superfund that insurance companys or individuals could tap for catastrophic bills over a certain amount..Say 50 or 100 thousand a year. Insurance companies could sell low cost policies for small claims and Docs could be given tax credits to treat the poor. But the government should not be allowed to put any strings on the funding. Not perfect but it might avoid total bankruptcy for awhile.
