On: Is my advice too mercenary?

[akvadrako]

Medicare is very wasteful, but it doesn't matter why.

The US government spends about as much per capita on healthcare as say France, but doesn't cover everybody and without part B is pretty incomplete.

Medicare not only covers the most at risk of our population, but is also by far the cheapest per capita beside medicaid. Yes, American health care is expensive, but medicare is the cheapest way to deliver it.
