Goofy, plenty of seniors complain about Medicare.  I could tell you all my Mom's horror stories but I'll spare you the gory details.  But the essence of it is that at this point in time they simply have no other option.  Because of the existence of the program they have no private insurer options for their basic health insurance.

But if it is so great, why do a vast majority of them have to buy supplemental insurance through AARP and other sources?!?!?  I'll tell you why.  Because it sucks, doctors and hospitals only take so many Medicare patients because the reimbursements are so low, take forever to get paid and require 12 people to file all the paperwork, etc.  You act like they have a choice and just love their single payer Medicare program.  Honestly Goofy, I like you but sometimes you post really dumb stuff.  Yopu really need to think before you rant.
