Hey, 23 million uninsured is 1 million fewer insured than 24 million… perhaps the Senate will be able to get it down to 20 million… maybe even 19.5 million people joining the ranks on the uninsured.
Republican progress, people!

Not really. If a provider knowingly billed a private insurance company for services that were not covered through some kind of subterfuge that would be the crime of fraud, which carries a prison sentence.
I bet Medicare has a huge host of problems, and that a large portion of those stem from trying to prevent fraud that they wouldn’t have to try to prevent if they gave it to everyone instead of means testing it. Other countries have the equivalent of Medicare for all, and there isn’t a rash of doctors going to prison for billing errors in any of them.
It’s fun to pretend these systems don’t work, but they do work. The contention seems to be that the United States of America is uniquely incompetent and couldn’t run such a system. Looking at the people elected to the American congress, maybe there is something to that argument, but if there is, I think you should probably be breaking out the guillotines for a big reset.
