90% of Medicare payments are not fraudulent, and benefit people who cannot otherwise pay for health care.

You propose to end that?

10% waste in a government program? That's less than half the amount of waster private industry would have.

Hey, Ed: Medicare's gonna end itself in five years or less. It's gonna collapse. It's what we call in the real world "unsustainable".

Getting government out of the way (e.g., Medicare Advantage) and privatizing as much as possible through competition is the only way any of this mess will survive.

Don't believe me: believe the Medicare Actuaries who continue to warn that the entire system is going to collapse.

however Ed, we are borrowing 43% of the expenditures..how long would it take for you to be on the streets if you conducted your life that way...right you'd already be on the streets homeless..and the argument that government works differently, sorry it does not it can just last longer in a deficit.. whose gives a .... what the private sector would spend or waste it has no direct impact on the taxpayer. The government directly wastes taxpayer money every time it elects to create a program.
