Quote:I think Medicare is the killer. That's the ticking bomb that will bankrupt us. We can fix Social Security by raising the retirement age and doing a few other little adjustments. I don't know what we're going to do about Medicare.

 

Medicare is only the killer because it's the foundation of all of our healthcare practice and financing models. They're wasting time and money with Population Health Management on a population that won't be managed. Eliminate the requirements and costs for prevention and return to working disease and age management and we'd be fine. Instead we're spending trillions of dollars focusing on pie in the sky socialist ideals that, like all their other ideals, aren't possible.
