Medicaid and Medicare programs are SOCIAL programs designed to give the US a better, more stable SOCIETY. If there were no Medicaid then MANY older retired people would be FORCED to turn to a life of CRIME in order to eat and have a roof over their heads. If this many people turned to crime, it would cost SOCIETY MORE than the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are today.
.......Social programs give a country stability. To be a 1st world country you need stability and the rule of law.
