It is part of government payment for socialized medicine. It cheapened and worsened health care. Prior to its inception, government entitlements were manageable. Now all discretionary funding is tied up in health care, and government inordinately involves itself.

We would not have the horrible price increases but for Medicare, and health care would have remained tied to reasonable costs. It is disappointing to read a physician believes the cause of our current crisis should be cured with more of the disease. More government involvement will fuck up health care royale. Naively and blithely walking into the fire are those who listen to the siron's song.

Just have government regulate it, government fund it and it will be great. Just like our educaiton, our screwed up roads and everything else government manages exclusively.
