Actually, that has a lot to do with the private health care systems (both insurance and medical side) charging far too much to make a profit. You see, the elder population in this country is growing and that causes the Medicare pool to grow way beyond the population of the young people. If we were all in the same pool, that would not be the case. It would actually make medicare solvent and in the black while the rest of us would get lower health care costs due to a larger pool of people being able to negotiate price. It's a misgnomer that the government has done such a poor job. My grandparents are (were) on medicare and they got great care.
