I was a Benefits Manager in my former working life, and Medicare is a disaster. Part of the reasons of the high costs are that doctors have to wait months for payments, the claim statements are complex and confusing, the coordination of benefits is a bureaucratic nightmare, and it takes extra medical staff to handle all of the paperwork - and that's not even including rampant fraud.
Newt, spineless Republicans, Medicare - you really had to get my blood boiling early this morning!
Keep in mind that the Daily Caller is Tucker Carlson’s website, and he’s never been anything more than a moderate middle of the road insider type. This may be wishful thinking on the Daily Caller’s part.
Medicare is a disaster for doctors, but it is a pretty good deal for seniors in the system. There is a reason why 80 percent of Americans don’t want to change the system. Republicans have done an extremely poor job in explaining to the public why the system cannot be sustained.
