I stand corrected, you are right, but when you consider the average it really doesn't matter. And my average salary number may be higher than the actual. The problem with these programs is there is more money going out than coming in.
The problem is medical care is not free. Providing medical care requires highly trained professional people, expensive equipment and facilities, huge liability insurance costs and expensive research into new lifesaving techniques, machines and medicines.
Medical care is not a right, it's a service that needs to be paid for. Politicians have been monkeying around with the system for years and making it worse rather than better. Condemning a hospital for refusing to subsidize a government program is not the answer. Voting a clean sweep in congress and the executive branch may help........
