Medicare is the Solution -- Not the Problem

This essay offers sensible, practical wisdom from Robert Reich.  Yet we know Big Pharma and health insurance companies will NEVER allow it.  Their billions (exacted from us for their crummy policies that seldom pay out) will fund their innumerable lobbyists, with bribes/payoffs to our so-called "representatives" in Congress.  Those representatives represent only the big guys, and we, the people are left out in the cold on every issue.  Yet Tea Party believers naively and willingly go along with anything proposed by the elites.  Their simple minds aren't able to understand that they are supporting their enemies and voting against their own interests.  Sigh.

MEDICARE IS THE SOLUTION--NOT THE PROBLEM
By Robert Reich

EXCERPT: 
Medicare isn't the nation's budgetary problems. It's the solution. The real problem is the soaring costs of health care that lie beneath Medicare. They're costs all of us are bearing in the form of soaring premiums, co-payments, and deductibles.

Medicare offers a means of reducing these costs - if Washington would let it.

<< Very well said. Nothin' more. Nothin' less. But makes sense at all. Thumbs up!
