Thread: Trump to name Obamacare critic Tom Price as health secretary

Ryan wants to mess with Medicare and I'm opposed to doing anything to change Medicare for our senior citizens. Leave Medicare alone, fix the mess and what doesn't work for those under 65, and get on down the road.

Price's plan sounds great absent any alignment with Ryan on messing with Medicare. Seniors are too stressed to deal with any change to Medicare. They paid for it for over 50 years, they still pay for it every month with their premium charges, and most have to go to the private market and purchase supplemental insurance because Medicare is still just an 80/20 deal on most items, some are 87%, but the big ticket items are still 80/20. Leave their drugs alone, leave it all alone as it is, and with that, Price and Trump working together will come up with great plans and private options for everyone else.

Price and Trump are right, it's not the insurance industry ripping US off, it's the medical care costs, most of them charged by not-for-profit 501 C 3 "charity" hospitals. 80% of US hospitals are 501 C 3 orgies. If you can't afford an emergency room visit or a simple operation, it's because the "charity" is charging you more than you can afford. Go Figure.

Pass the FairTax and force this bloated industry to run like a business, with the objective of providing the better result at a lower price.
