We have a couple or three train wrecks facing us; Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and possibly the prescription drug benefit.
So, while we are at it lets add Universal Health Care to the train wreck list.
Does anyone really believe that "we can afford it", "we can make up the cost by getting waste and fraud out of the system"? No, I thought not.
With two train wrecks for sure the candidates have devoted so much to the solutions! Right? Wrong. I don't think I have heard a peep from the candidates on how to fix these disasters!
Nope, just add another!
I have thought about this and have come up with an idea. Instead of establishing the entitlement, we decide "How much money will be spent this year on _______ . When the money runs out the service is suspended. If every legislation had a $ limit I think they would be a little more careful about the service provided.
