Do you favor a medicare and social security sunset act?

The rest of your post is full of crazy, however. People might listen to you more if you started paying attention to what you say; I mean, you actually used the phrase "right-wing socialist."

Damn them silly Nazis didn't know who they were.

And get rid of all that damn regulation. If my uncle wanted to perform surgery on me for free at his house, government shouldn't give a fuck.

Lobotomy's are expensive.

Getting rid of Medicare would be a good start. Let the market determine how much procedures and care should cost. Medicare is the reason procedures and care cost so much in the first place: it dictated prices that were not in line with existing market prices, causing ALL prices to go up.

Bring back doctor-patient negotiation. Let me and my doctor figure out how much something will cost. Why should anyone else have any say over that?

I agree. My dad said that medicare makes medical practices operate with 50-60% overhead.

All of the damn codes which lead to underpayment for services and overpayment for drugs and scooters and shit are just ridiculous. Pricefixing sucks, pricefixing never works and pricefixing is right-wing socialism (i.e., fascism).

If we deregulated (e.g., told the AMA and FDA to FOAD), allowed imported drugs, and made medical costs tax-deductable, then there would be no need for insurance or medicare and prices would go way down.

I favor getting rid of Medicare immediately with the additional appropriate measures I mentioned in the last line of my previous post, but Social Security would have to sunset. You couldn't get rid of that immediately.

Ultimately, Medicare was more harmful, but if we don't sunset SS, then we're going to be in deep shit.
