  • Medicare's Business Model – Hundreds of Health Issues Swirling
    Unofficial Portions are Copyright © 2017 & Confidential, Fair Use Exception for excerpts © reserved Published sources - Page 1 of 211 Medicare’s Business Model – Hundreds of Health issues swirling around Medicare’s cost consistently grows 60% faster than inflation.1 Medicare’s2 net outlays are about one fifth of the Federal budget,3 on its way to one fourth. As these are 55% of the total, Medicare’s budget4 of $751 billion plus the $200 billion for Medicaid 5SCHIP, is twice the spending of the Department of Defense.6 In similar terms, the recent appropriation of $790 Billion for the financial sector to steady the worse stock crisis in 79 years is a $100 billion less than Medicare’s every year, making Medicare a comparable financial event every eleven months. Medicare processes one point two billion claims a year, or a hundred million claims a month, or two thousand three hundred fifteen claims a minute, 24 / 7 / 365. The 75 year unfunded liability is $34 trillion.7 Medicare is the health payment program for people age 65 and older (about 39 million), or those on permanent disability under Social Security (about 11 million) plus End Stage Renal Disease (300,000). Medicaid’s enrollment is about 50 million.8 80 million Americans are under this health care coverage.9The total participants’ proposals to ameliorate this collision course between the airplane of promises with the mountain of revenue spending are many.10 But in reviewing those proposals, there is additional information which is not mentioned, or may have been considered, but isn’t on the published lists.
