Medicare = Only offer catastrophic, emergency, & long-term care to existing seniors 55 and older, in which the program will gradually phase itself out - all other care should be purchased through private insurance.
Medicaid = Abolish the program - if low-income people can afford take-out meals, cable television, beer and cigarettes, then they can afford to buy their own healthcare policy.
I could buy into all of that. But it ain’t gonna happen. Ever.
All of this is going to end in armed revolution.
Dumb, dumber, and dumbest.
I was behind someone at the checkout counter at the supermarket yesterday. She had 3 separate transactions of 15 items each of baby food and diapers. She was paying for each with a state issued welfare check. It took the clerk 20 minutes to ring everything up. All that time, the mother was chatting away on her cell phone. She can afford a cell phone, but can't afford to feed her kid !!!
