What choices do we the people really have? Who is to get to control 1/7 of the American $GDP? Private insurance company's with multi mega-millionair executives? or, Medicare/Medicaid with mega-millions of our $$$ being paid under the table dishonest, disingenuous, crooked, corrupt politicians (each and every one of them)?

Some people say that Medicare/Medicaid is a failed and/or failing system - and I ask, in what way so? is it only because it is so grossly underfunded? We do not charge our senior recipients a high enough premium cost.

But, is private insurance any better? If medicare/Medicaid covers 80% of needed services for @$100 per month - why is it that the private insurance supplemental which covers only 20% of services, also cost @$100 per month?

So maybe when examined closely, Medicare/Medicaid is not so bad, or as bad for a government agency, with only a 3% expense ratio, compared to private insurance companies 30% expense ratio.

Just who is really doing what - to whom?????
