Medicare Fact Check
By Paul Hsieh, MD @ 12:05 AM   
The latest AAPS briefing tackles the myth that, "Medicare is the model of efficiency and fairness".
The points covered include:* It is structured as a Ponzi scheme
* Its low administrative costs are a mirage.
* It is sustained by the general fund and by cost-shifting
* It is unfair to both patients and physicians
* The system is rife with fraud
* Government care costs much more
* Medicare taxes impose uncounted costs These are good reasons to run away from any proposal called "Medicare For All".Labels: Medicare
