I've seen estimates there are upwards of 60 billion a year in medicare fraud. Now Obama had a plan to fix all that and said this is how he will pay for his healthcare plan but we have to pass it for him to let us in on his little secret to stop all the fraud. Well it's passed. Anybody seen any of this fraud being snuffed out as I haven't?
He's busy running guns to Mexico and promoting gay marriage.

You don't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Medicaid covers things that Medicare doesn't: long term care in both home settings and nursing homes for both adults and children, school based therapies for handicapped children, and certain programs that cover home modifications for handicapped children. Medicare covers only short term episodes of care.
What happens to those handicapped children and adults if Medicaid is ended? Medicare doesn't provide what they need.
Sorry, I won't feel that I should pay for someone to go to the emergency room when they get a cold or a runny nose. Or the doctor for that matter. Suck it up and let it pass, your immune system will thank you.
I believe low cost health care should be, along with food, shelter and clothing, provided for all citizens and paid for by a steeply progressive income tax. By having federal ownership of the facilities and the staff paid federal wages a tremendous saving as administrative and executive salary cost are eliminated. Included in this is a free medical education for future doctors, nurses and other practitioners. There would be no need for any involvement by the private sector insurance industry. That would be the major source of the savings.
