Since I can remember the GOP has hated the very idea of Medicare and almost every Congress they have worked tirelessly to try and give the health industry a win by privatizing the program.
Every year since the election of Reagan the foundation of Medicare has been chipped a way….then there is Biden……a president that is heavily invested in the chipping……
A Trump-era pilot program that could result in the complete privatization of traditional Medicare in a matter of years is moving ahead under the Biden administration, a development that—despite its potentially massive implications for patients across the U.S.—has received scant attention from the national press or Congress.
a group of physicians from around the nation will try to grab the notice of lawmakers, the Biden White House, and the public by traveling to Washington, D.C. and demanding that the Health and Human Services Department immediately stop the Medicare experiment, which is known as Direct Contracting (DC).
The doctors plan to present HHS with a petition signed by more than 1,500 physicians who believe the DC pilot threatens “the future of Medicare as we know it.”
Advocates have been publicly sounding the alarm about the DC program for months, warning that it could fully hand traditional Medicare over to Wall Street investors and other profit-seekers, resulting in higher costs for patients and lower-quality care.
Once again the Democrats prove that they are NO better than the GOP….their concerns are for the donors NOT the people.
Medicare could be lost in the name of ‘compromise’ and word that does more damage than good.
At what point do the American people start paying attention to their future and stop living on social media for instant gratification?
The ONLY answer to getting proper health care for the people of this country is Medicare For All.
Not only is this country being hollowed out but your well-being is in jeopardy….and yet you prefer to see what moron has posted a cat video on Twitter or Instagram or whatever other mindless stupidity is out there.
Until the voter starts truly paying attention then we deserve all the silliness and mindless stupidity we get.

Threats to the NHS here are met with outrage, petitions, even strikes by workers. Whatever the shortcomings of our medical system, it is still far better than in almost any other country.
Best wishes, Pete.
