An article about medical costs

Yes that is the part I was talking about. He sure sounds like he wants
to extend Medicare to everyone.
He also admits that Medicare under payments are made up on the
non-Medicare customers so if everyone was on Medicare, they would not
be able to maintain that lower pricing.
Do you really think everyone would accept the payroll taxes necessary
to make that happen? Bear in mind, even with Medicare, you still need
to buy more insurance. (the "gap" policy")
There's a big difference between what Brill wants and what he said. He
said, and I believee it, that sharing the cost is beneficial for
everyone. His numbers show it. There's huge support for single payer,
which is fine with me. Is it perfect? Is Medicare perfect? No. Does it
need to be fixed? Sure. But not on the backs of the middle and poor.
The "medicare underpayments" are still OVER what the actual costs are,
and since medicare CANT negotiate, those costs can't be lower. That
would be a good first fix.
