I don't think Medicare is going to let someone die of cancer when there is treatment available. You certainly don't hear stories about people going into bankruptcy or losing their home and life savings because Medicare wouldn't treat them. You DO hear those stories about private insurance.

Really? Who are those? Hollywood talking heads?
I hardly think Donnie Deutsch or Warren Buffet are Hollywood talking heads, and I've heard both of them say that. In fact, Donnie Deutsche said the other day on Morning Joe the best way to pay for health care would be to get the top 100,000 people to pay an additional $100,000 in taxes.
