66. I can think of a lot of ways to save Medicare.
How about letting Medicare (the biggest buyer of drugs) negotiate prices? How about raising the tax rate? I do not have a problem with paying more while I am still working to preserve the program for when we are not longer able to work. How about arresting all those scooter commercial companies who are telling everyone that they can get a free scooter from Medicare (whether they really have a need for them or not)? And speaking of scooters, there are hundreds of other companies who are milking Medicare---and they seem to never get caught or punished. I cannot believe in this computer world that they are not able to find fraud.

And those are just a few off the top of my head.
