I don't see how medicare will cost less by putting this in to the hands of the "beloved" sic Insurance companies when their dministration costs is over 20% and the administration cost of the us gvt is less than 1%?
Are the republicans just in bed with the insurance companies and this is why they want to do this? this makes no sense what so ever.
And why in the heck did the Republicans create their own Medicare Pill Bill and illegally pass it in the House without raising taxes to pay for it, and without allowing us to negotiate bulk discounts with Pharma and without the ability for States to buy their lower cost drugs in Canada, during the Bush administration?
Was it purposely to make medicare "Wither on the Vine"....
this pisses me off to no end.
the national homeland security and defense budget has gone from $290 billion a year in the year 2000 to now $819 billion A YEAR in total.
WE ONLY COLLECT IN INCOME TAXES $950 billion to 1 trillion a year and over $800 billion of that revenue is used for our total national defense.*
Profit to a private ins co can be taxed. medicare and medicaid are pure cost for us.
