Re: Medicare/was what do doctors charge

[Guest guest]

Actually, Medicare has very little wasteful spending for administration --

about 1%, compared with 30% of the health care $$ for private insurance,

according to the last information I read.

Not sure who you think is paying for all those U.S. residents (and illegals)

from other walks of life, but surprise, it's you, if you ever go to a

hospital or pay taxes, because believe me, they get care, and someone pays

-- a lot.

After all, if no one paid, there would be no hospital for you or me.
