We saw what unlimited money going into the college system did and now crappy online schools are charging $500 an hour. If you socialize medicine without putting Karl's fixes into the system, we will see substantially higher costs and a lots more fraud.
I know of so many people that run to the doctor for everything and anything. Many are on Medicaid or the state run system. These people should be the first in line that should be monitored before they hand them this free lunch. I am betting that if the government actually put the numbers out there breaking down individual diseases by Medicaid recipients, we would find that a large amount of them simply need a lifestyle change. I heard recently that up to 3 million of the new Medicaid leeches were alcoholics and drug addicts. Just think what they are costing us. Ask yourself why these people have unlimited coverage while the folks buying their own insurance have none. They need to cap this system immediately to slow down it's growth until they get it fixed.
Due to too many people on the system that aren't contributing, there is no way that any socialized program could work.
In the past 8 years, they loosened what was considered a disability and the program exploded. When they handed out the extended unemployment, then that group exploded too. Easier to sit at home then to go to work. Human nature is what it is and the politicians know it. Most people are cheap *****s looking for the next opportunity to skin the game and most government programs simply hand it to them. The system needs major changing and this will be our only opportunity to do it. I hope the good guys are listening.
