the care a senior receives under Medicare is terrific, but ONLY because the low paying Medicare is propped up by the in place, for profit, health care system we all now enjoy. Your non-Medicare patients pay you enough, or nearly enough, to allow you to treat the low reimbursement Medicare patients.

That's the bottomline - a takeover of the entire health care system would be full of this type of unintended consequences – healthcare in America would take a giant step back.

Why not fix those ‘issues’ that can be fixed without government’s direct involvement? Why not secure the $600 Billion fraud and waste (MediCare/MediCaid) savings prior to installing another entitlement program? What’s the rush?
