If it's expanded, then you get more waste and fraud.
If it's cut, then you get more dead kids.
What do you people prefer? Poll.

Saying that on one hand: expanding Medicare leads to fraud while cutting it leads to dead kids is a false and manipulative oversimplification plus a false dichotomy. Fraud and waste in Medicare are not caused by how many people are covered but by poor oversight, loopholes in the billing system, wasteful centralized planning, and lax enforcement. These issues can be addressed through better auditing, smarter tracking systems, decentralization, and stronger penalties, regardless of the program's overall size. Cutting Medicare does not automatically result in death, especially not among children, since most kids are not even covered by Medicare. The claim that every dollar cut equals human tragedy is an emotionally charged scare tactic, not sound policy analysis. It is entirely possible to reduce Medicare costs by eliminating inefficiencies and redundant services without harming the people who depend on it. This kind of extreme, binary thinking ignores the serious work of reform and reduces a complex issue to political theater.
Reducing the issue to cartoonish extremes is intellectually lazy and dishonest, and it’s exactly why nothing ever gets improved by those manipulating for power and control.

Medicare is for the retired. Kids who don't need Medicaid already aren't on it and are wealthy enough to where they will survive.

Then why hasn't it been done?
Also, based on your profile pic, what is the yellow nation?

Deep state bitch.
If it really works, expanded.
If it is fake and the poor get scammed, cut and replaced with a system closer to universal healthcare.
If it's expanded, then you get more waste and fraud.
I think you know this is not true
If it's cut, then you get more dead kids.
You admitted in the previous statement there is some waste. So you definitely know this isn't necessarily true
This is also another false dichotomy as well. You can simultaneously cut waste and expand Medicare.
I wonder what's motivating you to frame things this way all the time.
You study math. Something perfectly logical. There is no emotion in math itself. I wonder if there is a need for some type of release some permission to be illogical that you seek from yourself
May I offer a suggestion?
Be illogical not with these obviously stupid thought experiments, but with an irrational belief in how much greatness you can acheive

Deep state bitch.
How do you elimiante the deep state?
-->
@RemyBrown
defund it.

@Greyparrot
That means no tax revenue going to the deep state (which means you have to eliminate Medicaid, which leads to more children death).

Eloncaid would save more kids.

How is it different than mediciad?

@RemyBrown
It's not a money laundering scheme run by the deep state.

What if Elon Musk turns into the deep state while being pro MAGA?

@RemyBrown
GP and Wylted are similar psyche types to those that enabled the Nazis. Wylted thinks his image is ironic or something, it is but for the opposite reason.
He always claiemd Leftists are more akin to that type yet the candidatez and policies he most avowedly supports leads to a differing conclusion.
The key clue is in the ones he supports most vs least. The middle gets blurry.

Centralized and decentralized.

@Greyparrot
You want a more decentralized America? Maybe I agree, but if you decentralize us too much, then you get 50 separate countries and then America is dead.
-->
@RemyBrown
Don't be silly, America was more unified and prosperous when it didn't have 100 alphabet agencies in DC.
If anything, the explosion of federal sprawl has weakened national unity, people feel ruled by strangers in D.C., not by representatives who know their communities. In the past, America had stronger families, stronger economies, and stronger civic ties, all while D.C. stayed in its lane.
So no, decentralization doesn’t kill America, it revives it. It reminds Washington that this nation is a union of states bound by liberty, not a federal command center managing 50 satellite franchises.

DC has representatives who know their communities.
