ObamaCare actually cuts $1 trillion from Medicare over the next ten years.

Meaningless.

Medicare is a promise to pay for a service without limit.

This cannot coexist with an honest annual budget, and, as long as our capitalist system has access to taxpayer dollars with a payment guarantee, more and more useful but expensive technologies will be invented and deployed.

RE: “Medicare is a promise to pay for a service without limit.”

I agree.

But it is about to become more like Medicaid.

Long delays for treatment, second tier physicians, and second tier facilities.

Naturally, all this happens one year before I become eligible!

I disagree that America is doomed financially.

Younger Americans, a majority of whom will be foreign born, first generation, or non-white, will simply default.

The “doomed” will be the elderly, who will be disproportionately Conservative non-Hispanic whites.
