Obama said last night that he plans to pay for Medicare by cutting billions of dollars of waste and fraud out of medicare. If there are billions of dollars of waste and fraud to be found in Medicare, isn’t that precisely the problem with a public option?

Let's see what George says about entitlements....
izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, September 10th at 7:46AM EST (link)The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
And if there is so much waste/fraud/abuse in Medicare
bk (Diary) Thursday, September 10th at 9:42AM EST (link)What’s he waiting for? Start going after it already for God’s sake!
Excellent point...I love it in fact...but this isn't enough for a diary...
AceInTX (Diary) Thursday, September 10th at 9:52AM EST (link)you need to expand on this and make it worthy of a Recommend which I would do for this one point…but I won’t recommend a short diary
BTW...of we had to wait till we needed the money for HCR before eliminating the Wate Fraud and abuse in medicare...
AceInTX (Diary) Thursday, September 10th at 9:56AM EST (link)how long will we have to wait for a worthy enough cause to come along which will justify eliminating the inevitable waste fraud and abuse in Obamacare?
