We're still only talking about 12% of total Medicare spend - so there's no doubt some fat in there, but you're not going to significantly affect the overall system working on a 12% slice.
- saraid216 13y agoDo you never change your salary unless it's by more than 12%?
- inthewoods 13y agoAre you ignoring the simple math that you can't change the Medicare picture on the back of a 12% allocation?
- saraid216 13y agoChanging pictures isn't math, dude.
- inthewoods 13y ago"Changing picture" = "Make a significant difference in the current financial health or structure of Medicare". In other words, let's say you can change that number to lower it by 25%. Now you've affected 3% of Medicare's cost - hardly the main problem.
- saraid216 13y agoHow is it that you're incapable of recognizing that 3% is larger than 0%?
