The Department of Health and Human Services is now breaking spending records. They spend over 100 million... EVERY MONTH. Medicare and Medicaid account for about 90% of that spending. It's time to abolish both. There are ways to do it, but no one's talking about it.
.@SecretaryCarson got laughed at during the election when he proposed to do away with both programs, but his idea would have cut HHS spending literally in half, AND every single American would have been given money to spend towards healthcare.
These are the types of ideas our government should be brainstorming. Instead of that, we have people screaming that the gov isn't spending enough money on healthcare even though they'll shell out 1.1 trillion this year.
So what's the solution? Complicated, but cradle to grave health savings accounts that families could share between them would be a big improvement.
