My point was this. Medicare is going bankrupt. Social Security is going bankrupt. Government isn't fixing those problems, but adding universal healthcare is going to be a resounding success? I'm having a disconnect somewhere.
Both programs need some significant reforms, but this isn't anything new. The GOP controlled Congress & White House over the last 8 years achieved little on improving either.
Eliminating the huge waste that is Medicare Advantage is a great thing. It was never paid for and it never performed the way the private insurance companies claimed it would.
That's not a bad start to help medicare...
Social Security also needs reformed but thats not part of the HC reform efforts as of now. It will need to be addressed.
