What infantile, utter “SoupNazi” garbage. Go ahead and try to find a Republican politician, or any politician, to advocate ending Medicare! See the result!
You seem oblivious not only to simple human empathy and morality, but proudly advocate we shamefully abandon our society’s aged to unnecessary pain & suffering and early preventable death.
Without Medicare we would not only have many millions more impoverished and insecure, but thousands of hospitals and medical facilities would close, and doctors & nurses & technicians would be laid off or never trained in the first place. It would destroy much of the steady demand (financially expressed) that allows the U.S. to support a world-class (if too expensive) health system. If you want to advocate reforms, that is one thing, but simply “removing these [so you claim] failed programs” would change … everything.
