And I'm thinking...why Ed....why are you going down this road with this caller.....the question was a simple one and it required a simple answer.....who will police the government when it gets into the health care business"??? Simple answer...the government ALREADY IS IN THE HEALTH CARE BUSINESS and it is doing quite well thank you ferreting out abuse and fraud....Medicare and the VA health care systems...two of the best manged, cost effective, and most loved by their clients, health care systems in America...
When someone says they don't want the government in the health care business remind them that it is and it is doing just fine...
1) 500B in Medicare fraud wouldn't look good on the governement run program resume.
ReplyDelete2) You appear to think gov't revenue is theirs to spend as if they earned it working 40/hours a week. Part of that money is mine and unless the government can abide by the fiduciary responsibity we bestow upon them tax rates should be reduced to a minimum at all costs.
