Maybe because 'some' doctors try to take advantage by making false claims?

BUT... and that’s a BIG BUT.. Most of the Fraud is perpetrated by the Government.. Waste is in control of the Government.. and the abuse is because the laws are so convoluted that people tend to go around the system.

We need comprehensive reform of Medicare... Make it available to the ones in need... Make it easy to understand... and make it affordable.

Remove the massive red tape.. it is estimated that Doctors and admin staff spend 5.8 hours on Medicare paper work for every 1/2 hour of care provided.. That is Government bureacracy at work..

Clean it up.. re-boot.. start over.

It’s private insurance Companies that are EVIL.. Government is GOOD..

Healthcare is BAD.. Government run Healthcare... GOOD..

Don't you get it.. Medicare cost 485 BILLION dollars annually chump change for such a wondrous beneficial program..

The 2009 Medicare Trustees report indicates that Part A
spending now exceeds revenues, and that the Part A trust
fund will be exhausted in 2017, at which point Medicare will
not have sufficient funds to pay full benefits,.

Government run healthcare (Medicare) is GOOD they run it so well..
