Medicare waste goes beyond belief
I could not believe my eyes when I read Monday’s Times Free Press front page story, “Health care rip-offs bilk taxpayers out of millions.”
The headline of the story was not what I found so incredible. Between fraud and bloated inefficient administration of government payout programs, I would conservatively say that less than 70 cents of every tax dollar spent actually reaches its intended cause.
What I did find beyond belief in the story is the fact that Medicare pays for Botox. If you are a young American, I have only one piece of advice for you: Save every penny you can. There will be no Social Security or Medicare when you are in your retirement years. The generation above you spent all the money trying to combat crows’ feet.
