How would Medicare for all save $1 without government rationing healthcare? Any savings from private insurance profits would go up in smoke due to government incompetence, bloat, and lack of accountability. Do you have any clue the ungodly amount of existing Medicare/Medicaid FRAUD that government already can't manage?
Although we hear plenty about fraud and abuse in Medicare - which is a legitimate area of concern - the program is dramatically more efficient than private insurance. Medicare spent just 1.4 percent of every dollar on administrative overhead, even including money spent to fight fraud and abuse, compared with 25 percent overhead in private plans, according to Richard Kaplan, a professor at the University of Illinois College of Law who specializes in elder law matters.
This makes private insurance a bigger fraud.
Oh please, the fraud was over $200 billion a year and that was a few years ago. I wouldn't hire the incompetent government to mow my damn lawn.
Lets make a deal shall we. Medicare for all BUT government can't go anywhere near the program. They can't touch the money, they can't regulate it, staff it, nothing. The people will manage the program. Deal? I guarantee you not one damn Dem in congress would vote for it.
