Show me.
Medicare is A government run healthcare plan. It is one of many healthcare plans available. Our government runs it by paying doctors in the private sector that those on Medicare chose to see. Since our government (under)pays the doctors, even though they are in a private practice, it makes rules they must follow when they treat Medicare patients.

In a debate people respond to what the other person says, not what they thought the other person said.

No, I am not. You think I am because when you read something into my comments that isn't there and then respond to what you thought I said, not what I actually said.
