I didn't want this to get lost in the above.
Why don't we place income limits on persons receiving social security and medicare? It pisses me off that John McCain, with his billions of dollars, draws a social security check every month.
Do you really think that money means a hill of beans to him or any other rich person? Do you really think he or any other rich person is going to go to their nearest Doctor that handles Medicare patients and sit in the lobby with fifty other old people waiting to be seen?
Hell no!
By setting an income limit, our government should have lots left over to take care of everyone who needs health care! As far as Medicaid's concerned, we won't need it anymore!
Basically what you are talking about is means testing. John McCain isn't the only rich guy on the government dole. I'm basically in agreement with the general idea of means testing. I don't know how much money it would save but it's a start.
