Medicare fraud - estimated now to total about $60 billion a year - has become one of, if not the most profitable, crimes in America.

So you support fraud Kenneth?

Which is more efficient?

That's not an apples to apples comparison since Medicare runs at a loss - to you personally Medicare is a more efficient use of your money - but economically the supplemental is on solid financial ground.

Kenneth, medicare is going broke. Your question is ridiculous.
What you pay has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency.

I pay $100 per month for Medicare which pays over 80% of my health care bills. I pay $300 per month for a supplement policy which covers the other 20%. Which is more efficient?

Well I pay over $2000/year for medicare and I get absolutely nothing for it. By that measure it is totally inefficient.

Of course Kenneth's logic is the same logic the Dems are using to show it only costs $1 trillion when the actual cost is much higher.
