If Medicare is the be-all-end-all, why do people need Supplement Plans? That seem to be multiplying as less and less gets covered by the government? It’s like double taxation, IMO.

Why does Medicare coverage, overall, kind of suck? Just like Medicaid?

Why should you be forced to pay into a system when you could make a better financial return on your investment in the free market?

I know more and more people who are continuing to work past 65 because they need private insurance as their secondary. Even Congress gets better insurance coverage throughout their miserable lives after retirement.

Furthermore, it seems there’s more and more press releases coming from the Justice Department about providers committing millions of dollars worth of Medicare fraud. We wind up funding those court cases with our taxes, too.

To me, Medicare is just another way to steal money from hard working Americans and giving them a sack of 💩 in return instead of good coverage as promised when Medicare first started. (I am beginning to think it was a scam when initially implemented, but I know it’s operating as a damn scam now.)

Why not let people get their SS payments back so tax payers can use that money on actually beneficial services instead of lining the federal coffers with even more of our hard earned funds? Or working on a different, less bloated system?

I agree with his point about bailing out corrupt global insurance companies, but I disagree on Medicare.
