Paul:  I have long had the habit of signing everything I write, whether on this site or anywhere else.  Thank you for your kind words.  

I very much agree that some health care providers see medicare and medicaid as invitations to bilk the taxpayers.  To me it is simply fraud and should be prosecuted as such.  I'd like to see a non-partisan look at the ACA with the goal of addressing any shortcomings and making it a better system for everyone.  However, with the GOP dedication to repealing that "terrible, broken system", it would be difficult to have that rational, reasonable conversation.  Gary Crum
