Medicare is the worst program ever...

[Revenant]

At least with medicaid and Obamacare you're spending a good amount of money on future productive citizens or current productive citizens.

Medicare, as you all may know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_% ... _States%29

...is an entitlement which allows unproductive citizens (who can't pay for themselves) to live longer and longer, thus costing more and more. It's pretty much a cash transfer from the useful to the useless, prolonging the already too long lives of the useless. And the better the program works at keeping the useless alive, the worse the financials get. Pretty horrific design where zombies vote themselves more life at the expense of the truly living.

Them bad people wanting to live! How dare they?!

One day you millenials will be using Medicare and still be leeching of your moms who drive around in cars with "Proud Parent of a Centenarian" stickers.

Get rid of congress, military empire, welfare, FDA, dept of education, homeland security, batfe, foreign aid, and many many others and then you can do away with medicare when those old people pass away. Set an age limit and then cancel it.

why is healthcare so expensive in the US? more is spent on medicare than a lot of countries spend on universal healthcare, and a lot less ppl are covered under medicare. seems like a lot of waste.
