No It will take a messed up system and make it worse. case in point. Medicare spend approx 70% of his costs on hospitalizations and procedures, 25% in doctors, and less than 5% on home health. it refuses to pay for preventive care to keep people out of the hospital and has fcoused all of its cuts on doctors and home healthcare ignoring the 70% on hospitalizations. That is where the fat to be cut is but the hospitals have the biggest leveraging power.

Ask yourself this - If the govenerment has done such a wonderful job of managing Medicare and Social Security, why would we want them more involved in healthcare? adding 30 million people cannot POSSIBLY lower costs, no matter how they spin it.
