Medicare has been around for decades and they still can’t get that right.
Yeah, it's too bad that the government took over that market. The competition between all those companies looking to insure the elderly and disabled really kept the prices down. Huh? What? No one was competing for those plans? You don't say! Oh, nevermind. Government is bad. Let's repeal Medicare and let those folks find their own insurance on the common market again.
Are you sure you’re not “Comic book guy,” It sounds like I’m watching the Simpsons.
Yep, you can never drop an entitlement program. That’s why it better be damned good and well thought out before you create one. But that’s not my point. Medicare is run poorly and is full of waste and fraud (again, you Google it’s all over the news). If the government can’t get that right, for decades, what makes them think that if they throw Medicare away the next, more expensive, program will be any better?
