Republicans are so stupid! I have really had it with them. They continue to accept the liberal premise that Medicare is popular. It is not - it is another government program forced upon retirees. It's a system that you are coerced into when you turn 65 - you automatically are put into the Medicare A portion, and if you don't sign up and pay for Part B most insurances won't cover the differences.

I was a Benefits Manager in my former working life, and Medicare is a disaster. Part of the reasons of the high costs are that doctors have to wait months for payments, the claim statements are complex and confusing, the coordination of benefits is a bureaucratic nightmare, and it takes extra medical staff to handle all of the paperwork - and that's not even including rampant fraud.

Newt, spineless Republicans, Medicare - you really had to get my blood boiling early this morning!

Keep in mind that the Daily Caller is Tucker Carlson’s website, and he’s never been anything more than a moderate middle of the road insider type. This may be wishful thinking on the Daily Caller’s part.

Medicare is a disaster for doctors, but it is a pretty good deal for seniors in the system. There is a reason why 80 percent of Americans don’t want to change the system. Republicans have done an extremely poor job in explaining to the public why the system cannot be sustained.
