Remove government from your relationship with your doctor
Essential to providing a sustainable Medicare model is eliminating wasteful and fraudulent spending. Improper Medicare payments were estimated at near $45 billion in 2010.
Much like my Social Security plan, Medicare for people receiving benefits, or near receiving benefits, will be preserved as is. For younger Americans,
I will be working with other members of Congress to develop a plan allowing people to purchase a policy that meets their needs, from Medicare Certified providers or utilize a voucher
that can be used to fund in full or in part a policy of their choice. Ultimately, removing the government from the relationship you have, with your doctor will be a guiding principal of any legislation I support.
