Just look at what Billethekid wrote about "Obamacare". He said there was no specific plan in it to prevent Medicare fraud and abuse. I have no idea what political party he belongs to - if any - but look at Columbia/HCA hospital consortium.

Columbia/HCA paid over 1 Billion dollars in fines for Medicare fraud. Rick Scott, their CEO, knew nothing of this fraud. Floridians elected Scott to be their governor. He was endorsed by the Tea Party.

Yes, Democrats were responsible for passing Medicare as well as Social Security. They were railed against by Republicans for these entitlement programs. I sure do not see any Republicans saying they will give up their "entitlements" nor do I want to hear any arguements about it.
