  1. I guess the extra 20% overhead private insurers collect administering Medicare Advantage plans is off the table?!? Oh wait, insurance companies have better lobbyists and pay better bribes, oops, donations and profits for insurance companies is OK, but not for hospitals.

    The overhead for administering traditional Medicare is in the 3-5% range. The overhead for administering Medicare Advantage plans is 20-25%.

  2. Trump Administration wants to demonstrate they are for the common consumer while continuing to charge high tariffs and other actions keeping inflation high. What B.S. from a man who only thinks of himself and is now worried about more guardrails being imposed after the midterms. Wonder if it ever occurred to the MAGA group that they are the ones driving the rise of the Democratic Socialists and their rise in popularity.
