At times I feel medicare was setup top be a subsidy to the medical community. It seems to seed
increased costs so I am paying about the same part of my income for it as before..There is the
impression it is setup to protect the vendor instead of the patient. A case of the wolf
protecting the hen house. Vendors seem to know they can push the envelope and a only get a slap
on the hand if they get called on an issue. So the costs go through the ceiling. Would you expect
anything else. Guy

medicare is a "government" organization
the only thing that government is smart about is on getting reelected
otoh, the docs *are* smart and they quickly adjusted to the new world (in the USA) of
medicare businesskeep in mind that when you're diabetic, *any* insurance is better than no insurance
imo, we'd all be far better off with the money in our pockets, which is the one thing (likely the
*only* thing) that would solve the problem of our (USA) skyrocketing costs for doc services and medsbill
