What we have done to the government is harsh, not what they have done to us. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been stolen from the government using medical and medicare. They should cut it completely. I don't think anyone can even imagine how much fraud has been done with medical and medicare. So many illegals and freeloaders abuse the emergency room that it makes it near impossible for normal tax paying citizens with a real emergency to get a good service in a timely manner.

How about not allowing emergency rooms to be used as Doctors Offices where you don't have to pay.

At least people are still getting some care. When you rely on others to provide for you, you have to take what they give you.
When I find people who are indigent and fall between the cracks, I help them out personally.

Austerity is needed to balance the budget.
