Medicare is unfeasible and can not be sustained. It is bankrupting the country. As things stand, if we wait ten years, it will cost the US Government over one-hundred dollars for a Band-Aid in the year 2020.
We can not accept this. If Medicare were put in the hands of private industry, competition would keep prices low. The profit motive would keep the system state-of-the art, and old folks would benefit. It is not fair to have other taxpayers support leaching senior citizens. The old folks should and would be required to take on a minor percentage of the price with a co-payment. It's only fair and the savings could be passed on as tax cuts to younger or richer voters who do not use Medicare.
And seniors today would not lose any benefits other than lower taxes. According to the GOP plan, privatization would not kick in until these seniors kicked the bucket.
Everyone wins!
