The costs will be controlled by major hits on reimbursement to hospitals and patient care providers....until the point that hospitals collapse, and physicians refuse to accept new medicare patients due to reimbursements not being sufficient to cover the costs of providing the care demanded.
It ain’t going to be pretty, but Medicare will go the way Medicaid is going now...which is bankrupt.

Yep. The only caveat I would add is that currently doctors can refuse patients. Hospitals can not. The conventional hospital will be closing but true private hospitals will start opening. We already see this in standalone ER’s, surgery centers, etc. that won’t take Gubmint insurance.
People had better wake up for there own sake, regardless of their country, as the seams are starting to rip. As goes medicine, so goes America.
