If they would just quit stealing the Medicare money and using it for Medicaid the problem would be solved. Just like Social Security, the Congress "borrows" money from the program---which should be illegal---and use the money for Medicaid and other give away programs.
We’d probably still run into problems. It will just buy us time to think of a different solution.
Most of the social programs we have. Are fundamentally reliant on the idea of the upcoming generations either being the same size or bigger than their parents generation. To ensure there’s still money coming in to pay the costs.
The Millennials and Gen Z are smaller generations. Meaning there’s less of them to pay in. And simultaneously Less of them to staff Nursing homes and Hospitals. Less to take care of the elderly. Which will drive up costs.
As the U.S has largely moved away from the Multi-Generational Households. And even the habit for children to stick around their hometown to help care for aging parents. Which leads to Nursing Homes and assisted living facilities being in high demand as often enough these days parents and family are dumped and forgotten about.
Amen. So many people have no idea that MEdicare and Medicaid are different programs. MediCARE is for people who worked and PAID INTO Social Security and the Medicare program. MediCAID is the federal welfare program's health insurance under SSI. SSI is Supplemental Security Income, basically a federal welfare program for people who are too lazy to work. MediCAID is paying parents who have children with an ADHD diagnosis $967.00 a month in 2025. What the hell costs $967.00 a month to "treat" ADHD?!?!?!
I'm saying it again, make the Hippocratic Oath a law. Another law that needs to be a federal felony would be that healthcare providers, doctors etc. cannot accept any money from pharmaceutical industry.
Ass clown berry sewato made my 1500.00 deductible is now 6,600.00 dollars JHC, making the working man pay for your liberal bullshit. That's per family member, why do I have health insurance when it doesn't pay for anything. This universal health care is shit. Assholes.
We could just start using treatments that work instead of maximizing profits! Costs dump through the floor. Easy to demand through EO since Medicare is in the executive branch.
Another big reason is fraud. Another big reason is illegals. We need to straighten our medical out ASAP.

...valid observation...
The Medicare and Social Security money was in a locked account until I believe it was LBJ that said we can use it and put IOU in account.
" I believe it was LBJ that said we can use it and put IOU in account."
...LBJ was a cracker's cracker...
I thought so.
Thanks.
Cut ALL federal foreign aid and divert some of those funds to Medicare.

...please stop applying common sense to governmental policy...
...the wonks find it embarrassing to be embarrassed...
...carry on...

Yeah, and a lot of them don't work---they are on welfare borrowed from Social Security!

Donut hole?
Sounds like it involves a circle jerk...
