Medicaid was designed to be only for the truly needy.

Medicare recipients spend several decades paying into the system before they begin to use the program when they hit the retirement age.

They now want to "expand" the program so that it covers the rest of the people; -from newborn infants to 88 year octogenarians.

And a program that will allow everyone to access it each and every year for any kind of illness or ailment.

Try to imagine what would happen if all the workers were allowed to access their own Social Security accounts each and every year for some kind of funds.

Social Security wouldn't survive five years.

Easy Solutions:

Those who are truly needy can turn to charity for their critical medical needs instead of Medicaid.

Seniors who have paid into Medicare can have the money they paid into Medicare refunded.

Of course, we would have to deduct the money that has been spent on their medical treatment by Medicare from their refund.

Those seniors could use the money from their Medicare refund to enter the Private Insurance Market.

Abolish Medicaid
