If they cut $1 trillion from going to Medicare Advantage programs upcoding things, the Medicare Advantage people won’t go “ah, shucks, they caught us. Guess our years of grifting are over.” The Medicare Advantage programs will just pass that on to the consumer, which will cause some people to drop it, causing the prices to go even higher.
Soon we will see a two-tier medical system for old people: Rich old people and not rich old people, and the pressure for medicare to cover more things will grow.
Yeah, I like the belief that in the US there isn’t a tiering of medical services based on wealth. I mean that’s probably pretty true everywhere, but especially in the US. I mean there’s already medigap insurance.
They’d have to bank on boomers being too far gone in the compenticy department to realize they are personally getting fucked to move forward with this shit. I don’t believe that’s the case, the mental house of cards they’ve built has a foundation of “how does it effect me”. If the facade can be punctured to show yes, it effects you too, both major political parties are going to have a tough time on their hands.

That’s already how it is.
