And bring world peace!

Better fix your headline. I was like, "Save $2 per person? Yawn."

Medicare for all will have cleavage and provide nurses who do home sperm harvesting with their buxom brouhahas.

I'm still waiting on that $2500/year savings that Obama promised.

My father is a physician. About 15 years ago, he and some colleagues partnered up with lawyers from Princeton and NJ congressmen. They were planning on creating a child day care for disabled children which was paid for by Medicare. It was something like they paid $200 a day. Their goal was to get a large percentage of kids who wouldn't normally be classified to receive such care to get it with a few simple diagnoses. So basically, they along with your elected government officials were scheming to ripoff the taxpayer to create day care centers paid for by the public.

The only thing that stopped it in its tracks was GWB signing legislation to halt "medical day care" payments because there was already so much abuse from the same idea through disabled senior citizen care. So...they accidentally cut off the money that would have gone to this scheme.

They were estimating they would pull in 20 million dollars from the state easily.

Yeah, medicare pays the same per senior regardless of location. Something like 4 levels of pay depending on how much medical attention the senior needs. "Assisted living" senior resorts will be the best real estate opportunity you can get into in next 25 years. Get a $350k house in a small town. Fix it up, and have some medical pros on call, then staff w 24/7 $12/hour locals. You would be paid something like $3200 per senior per month by medicare.

Homes like this could produce multi-hundred $$thousands per year. I was trying to convince my family who've been in jefferson for 6 generations to buy it and make it an assisted living business.

They say Medicare for all, but it will really be VA care for all.

And bring world peace!

And solve world hunger while curing Corona Virus.

Ostensibly this is because Medicare can not monitor for fraud and quality of care. In reality, the AMA pushed for this special interest protection.

You got it! Nice to have a dedicated nurse who only does 4 patients a time, at 1/8th the cost of the same US procedure, without being kicked out right away.

It's clear American Healthcare is the best but most expensive. Makes sense. Medicare for all will either cost trillions of dollars (which we don't have) for current care level or it would deteriorate the care to the levels of Canada or the UK. Trump is trying to do the right thing to rescue drug prices but it's clear the US has the best and sometimes the only cures for certain conditions because the financial incentive is there.
