A dirty little secret is that Medicare and Medicaid paid health providers much less that commercial health insurance does.

Of course the Federal price controls will so apply to all payors since they will not be able to pay out as much when they are forced to a accept applicants with pre-existing conditions. They will not be able to charge premiums high enough to be profitable.

This will necessarily result in a single payor or "nationalized heath care" leading to health disaster and federal bankruptcy. Sooner than later.

This was the intent of the Communists/Democrats all along. To destroy capitalism, you have to bankrupt the nation. Then Communists/Democrats take over. Then the Ayers-mentioned purges/murders/camps begin.

Real about Pol Pot in Cambodia to see their REAL vision.

The Medicaid/Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals have been dropping for years.

I know of a number of doctors that have resorted to no longer accepting patients associated with these programs. I know of many that have cut their practices by 3/4 and charge an annual fee if you want to remain their patient.

Medicare and Medicaid are not profitable as is. The amount paid by these “insurers” frequently does not cover the cost of care let alone a reasonable profit. The rest of us pick up the difference by paying higher rates to keep docs and hospitals afloat. Medicare and Medicaid patients will not find any practices accepting new patients. Thebpractices literally can’t afford them
