And what is Medicare's current financial condidition under government's management?[/quote
They are still paying the healthcare bills. They could fix it like Reagan fixed the Social security. Make you be 70 years old before you would be covered. See I have answers to fix everything just go back and look at history you will find an answer.
But then they still have that group under 70 they have to find a way for coverage of....
There is no doubts- fixing this is going to cost--but the reason the cost has gotten so high is because we've done nothing about it for 30 years- and without intervention it will continue to get higher...
Personally- for now- I think they should totally leave medicare alone- get everyone else access to health care insurance first...Medicare users are plumb happy with the plan...The only thing I saw in any of the bills that even touched much on Medicare- was since Doctors/Clinics are already paid on a fee basis for medicare patients- so some Doctors won't take Medicare patients- they talked of trying to better balance out the fee being paid, to the going rate-and simplify the claim filing- to bring more Doctors and Clinics into treating medicare patients...
