Thank you Barefoot and Serenity. Medicare is socialized medicine. Poor people that own nothing are cared for gratis. It's the poor unwashed middle class that gets nothing and pays for everything. I don't understand why hospitals and doctors won't take cash from a patient paying the same rate the insurance company would pay them for a service. They get paid on the spot and have no billing worries. Why should an individual have to pay 110K for something an insurance company pays 20K for?
