> What are you talking about? Members of VA, Medicare and Medicaid love their programs. You'd be hard pressed to find someone willing to give up their Medicare or VA benefits.
You're overstating their satisfaction. However, since they're not paying, of course they won't give it up.
And, if you have a dispute, you're more likely to have it resolved in your favor if it's with a private company.
Medicare et al are pretty efficient at cutting a check. However, the low estimates of fraud are $50B/year.
> Medicare would do what a single payer advocates, if only we didn't include sweetheart deals.
And what makes you think that any new govt program will be any different? (Obamacare is full of such deals, so that's not a Republican thing.) You don't get to assume unicorns and puppies when the experience is very different.
That's why I wanted to give Obama free rein - to see if he could do better. However, Obamacare as passed ....
> Thankfully my President helped to change that, and for the first time in over a year I'll finally be able to see my Neurologist and get that MRI I desperately need.
Not to be rude, but "my president" isn't paying - I am.
