Political Factoid
Yes, Medicare costs could be controlled
by having the government just issue vouchers*
for people to buy private insurance.
- Grandma receives a voucher.
- Grandma has to buy an insurance policy from a for-profit insurance company.
- At her age, and with her health, the voucher would not begin to cover
what the for-profit insurance companies would want to charge - if they are even willing to offer a policy to her at all.
- Grandma has to remember to pay the premium each time.
- Over time, the insurance will cover a declining percentage of Grandma's medical bills.
- Tough ditty said the kitty.
