OBAMACARE wrecks Medicare by design, but why? I would suggest that 'why' is rather obvious.

Here from the wayback machine is a post describing health care practice pre-Nanny-State. It's long - and a bit rambling - but well worth the read. I remember those years well (I had polio in the early 1950's) and medical care was not nearly as bad as the pompous poseur practitioners of nanny-state medicine would have you believe.
