Even though it is the second-largest item in the federal budget behind Social Security, Medicare underpays healthcare providers — which is why many are dropping out of the program. Medicaid reimbursements are so low that many Medicaid “beneficiaries” struggle to find doctors who accept Medicaid. This may be one reason why several studies show that Medicaid patients receive low-quality healthcare. Government-run healthcare’s third strike is Obamacare, which has trapped many Americans in high-cost, low-quality health plans.

Despite the manifest failures of government-run healthcare and the clear danger posed by the almost $29 trillion (and growing) federal debt, Congress is planning to spend as much as $1.355 trillion, expanding all three healthcare programs, as part of the “human” infrastructure bill.
