Medicare is mined for money. Under Republicans the corruption is out in the open. Unfortunately the hooks into DC are so extensive that under Democratic administrations the best that happens is some reform of the framework of the corruption. It is maddening, the corruption might be intractable at this point. All we can do is get more progressive Democrats in office and hold them accountable.
