Your not removing it though. You are just adding more inefficiencies. Why should you take $10k a year from me only to give me back $2.2k? Why not just take the $7.8k and have less work to do?Why not cover everyone for the same money you're covering just a few?
Seems to me that this idea illustrates the abject ineffectiveness and inefficacy of the Medicare/aid system. More reason to remove it.
In the end everyone that doesn't want to participate in Medicare/Medicaid will be adding money to the pool (minus the individual check they would receive) that will then be checks given to the low-income families that qualify for the system.
So really all you are changing is that instead of giving the low-income families health care you are giving them a check and asking them to get it themselves while hoping that not only do they spend the money on health care, but also that the private insurance market doesn't dramatically inflate with all the new high risk business.
We have to re-look at the health industry too then. I though it was illegal for a hospital to deny a dieing person medical attention. If it's not directly illegal the lawsuits surrounding situations like that would suggest it is indirectly.If you are irresponsible, you suffer the consequences.
What ever happened to consequences?
