5. No one buys Medicaid. They buy Medicare.

Medicaid costs nothing for those who qualify for it, at least while they are living. One of the quirks of Medicaid that never gets talked about is the fact that the government can come after the estate of a deceased Medicaid patient and seek reimbursement for services rendered.

So, the solution would be to alow people to buy into Medicare. That would cost an average of $110 per person per month.
