Eliminating government waste could pay for those who cannot afford healthcare.
Yet far left progressive whine about how unfair it is to let Americans who cannot afford health insurance go without healthcare, they think only the federal government can fix it.
If the federal government already has the money to pay for these poor people but choose to squander it on programs they feel are more important than the health of it's citizens then I ask, why should the tax payers foot the bill?
For reasons that defy sanity, various elements of the government have spent $3 million for research on video games; $2.6 million to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly; a whopping $500 million on a program that would, among other things, try to figure out why five-year-olds cant sit still in a kindergarten classroom; and grants such as $1.8 million on a museum of neon signs in Las Vegas, Nevada.
-- Sanity does not apply to the $2 billion given annually to U.S. farmers to not farm their land. Dont even ask about the Defense Department. It has long been famous for waste.
While all this has been going on, in 2010 the Office of Management and Budget determined that $47.9 billion was spent on fraudulent or improper payments in Medicare and the problem still hasnt been fixed, though the cost is now up to $62 billion. Theres been $2.7 billion in fraud and mismanagement of the food-stamp program. And on, and on, and on.
