[QUOTE=gomoho;935302]My biggest concern with Medicare is FRAUD - seems to run rampant in the government run program - not so much in private insurance - maybe that's why private companies make a profit![/QUOTE
The fraud comes from the doctors and the hospitals and is perpetrated on the insurance companies.

In any case, I don't agree that fraud should bring Medicare down in favor of privatizing insurance, who were denying coverage to people who needed it the most, or making it so expensive they couldn't afford it. Every year private insurance rates hike.

Anybody with a pre-existing condition is happy to have Medicare.
