Default Re: When is Washington going to get real and cut medicare?

Whether you cut medicare or not, those people will still need medical care. If they cant afford to pay their bill, the hospital will be stuck with it. This then raises the price YOU have to pay when you go to the hospital. So you are still paying for that person's care. Hospitals cannot turn people away for lack of payment ability. They just increase the price across the board and those that can pay make up for those that cant. You are screwed either way and just trying to fool yourself by reducing medicare.
