One more thing...Medicare should be a guarantee for those who paid into it, but it should be phased out for those under 40 and eliminated. it is the only way to defuse the ticking time bomb of costs and to allow the private sector to work its magic, which it will certainly do if the Government gets out of hte way.
Absolutely agree with this. Any time I propose such even here on FR it's met with a large yawn or mixed response at best. Seems even Freepers are not all that keen on eliminating this program that Gokhale-Smetters(pdf) said some years ago would bring us to the abyss.
