There are so many who need a full serving of bullet soup.  

That bunch is leaving D.C. in Jan.  

I still need to load-up a good surplus.

So , ya putting extra fuel on both bikes ?  

Technically, if they were to extend Medicare parts A-D into a national any age program then the amount of folks covered would be HUGE and the system might actually be functionable with only an occasional $$$ boost, similar to what it needs now.


Remember before the HMOs? Insurance was affordable. But, someone announced that the medical care system needed help.
So, we got Helped...

Anyone who has enough sense to breathe unaided knew Bamicare couldn't work.

Things could Not have worked better if the goal was a Single Payer system. Basically, Medicare for everyone.
Now, review Cloward and Piven.

One day, Observed Reality is going to align with the obvious for everyone..  That's when What people see stops being dependent on what they Want to believe. Once you see behind the Curtain, there's no going back.
Take the Red pill..

I agree with MM on that one.  Many in the field are way overpaid.  The people who do most of the work, CNA's, Practical nurses and such barely make enough to live on.

Deregulate the whole mess. Make medical insurance illegal.  Watch prices drop and people start making a reasonable amount of money for what they do. People will suddenly be able to afford medical care again.

Mandatory prescriptions are and always have been unconstitutional.  Nowhere does our constitution give the government the right to regulate anything we might consume. In fact, it is expressly forbidden to the feds.

The whole thing went screwy in the late 60's and 70's when pretty much every company offered medical insurance as a perk.  Just about everybody was insured so the medical industry decided Hey we can up the rates, the insurance companies will pay it and it's just gone on from there. I don't know where they thought the insurance companies were going to keep getting the money to pay their outrageous rates.

Example...a friend of mine's husband needed surgery. He was quoted a little over 40k by the local hospitals. He got the same surgery done at a highly rated in-patient surgery clinic in town for a little over 3k. They don't do insurance.
