America spends half as much money on the Ukraine war as the Medicare advantage plans overcharge. You never hear anything out of the Republicans about that or the news media. It looks like the death panels the right wingers have been so afraid of have arrived and just like everything else, they made it happen. The GOP voters keep electing con men and blaming hippies!

Mr. Johnson, if there were a contest to determine the best, most concise, biting comment: I would vote #1 for "The GOP voters keep electing con men and blaming hippies."

So Medicare Advantage overcharges cost Americans twice as much as the war in Ukraine??

Robert p123, Medicare advantage overcharges 140 billion per year and the Ukraine war is costing America $60 billion per year. So, yes privatizing Medicare is costing America about twice as much!

So, anything published by private health insurance corporations should be considered a LIE until proven true. That's the message I get. Shame that our healthcare has been so privatized that it cannot be believed.
