>>>Ask yourself what chance the young have to resolve a $47T Medicare deficit and ask yourself what you'd do if as a 20-year-old you discovered it was engineered by people sitting on asset piles and criticizing you for not being able to buy a home as they had by your age, or for needing to borrow money rather than relying on summer jobs to cover your education, or for having dirty socialist expectations that government might have something for you apart from a bigger tax bill.

>>John, John, John.
>>How you do go on!
>>It's absurd to blame oldsters for that deficit.
>>I just saw the bill that Medicare had to pay for my 5 day stay in the hospital in February.
>>$77K for 5 days in the hospital and that doesn't include MD bills.
>>That's over $15K per day, John.

>Medical bills are insane here. I know a guy who was in Thailand and broke his arm. Went to the emergency room at hospital (which he said looked like most hospitals in the USA), got x-rays, a cast, saw two different doctors and got 3 (or maybe it was 4?) different kinds of medication. He sent a picture of his $18 bill. That would probably be $10,000 + here.

Yes. It's insane.
It's the biggest failure of Obamacare that costs have continued to spiral.
While in the hospital I saw many examples of how automation has reduced paperwork, walking time, etc, yet costs continue to go through the roof.
