14. Medicare costs are about half private insurer costs. So why in the fuck
are we worried about something that provides service for half the cost of the "competition"?

Average annual medical expense in the US: $14,471
Medicare annual expense: $7,064
Out of pocket expense for Medicare patients: $2,523.

So you can get Medicare for $9500 or so in expense per year total.

Or you can pay the friendly fuckers with the good hands or whatever $14000+, 40% MORE.

But Medicare is a problem, not the private fuckers.







If politicians get any more greedy or corrupt, they deserve an award for going way beyond the known bounds of human decency.
