My point was more to do with the fact that they throw up 52 trillion and say "too expensive" when medicare is involved. Yet the same amount is paid if you use private insurance. And it also ends up as "bad healthcare" if the government is paying and good if you pay thru the nose to insurance. Yet the doctor gets the same amount of income.
