What would happen to grandma, again, if Medicare spending were dropped to about $200B? You guys had an interesting slogan a couple of years ago. If $50B in potential reductions via addressing fraud and duplicity was going to do that, what would y'all be screaming if that reduction was several times as much, and on actual services?

Everybody who has health insurance now pays a premium for every uninsured person who needs care and can't pay for it.

And you would have been okay with drving all the way across the country on a two lane, often unpaved, road? Interesting.

And what do you think will happen to those premiums when people figure out it's cheaper to just pay the penalty and only get insurance when something bad happens since pre-existing clauses have been outlawed?

********* dude.

What is your grief with Medicare & Medicaid? Isn't that what you try to achieve? Government paid healthcare? How dare you diss the people that pay into it?
