Something is profoundly wrong with the U.S. Welfare system...

So in that case firsthand a majority is spent on Medicare and Medicaid claims regarding elderly care, cancer care, and disabling diseases that have profoundly engulfed individuals. Some drugs cost 14-17k a month just for one treatment therapy. Add that to the cost of diagnostic tests, and it can total up to 575k a person in a hurry. What's the solution? Hopefully taxing the recipients a fair share on their profits. When half of a industry is receiving millions in payments to make a drug for 5 bucks to turn around and sell it for 17 k due to it treating a condition that effects 1% of the population and have the government flip the bill, we have a bigger issues in the system because the government waisted all its time checking every detail on its recipients, and forgot to look into the companies it was paying out.

No, it doesn't really cost $17k per month, that's just what the corrupt government pays certain people.

I know first hand from seeing a bill from two insurance companies that one covers the drug costs that the other picks up the rest and within the government funded insurance a drug coverage exceeding 20 k a month for a loved one with a rare disease is completely covered under Medicare and Medicade. Same goes for anyone in a nursing home on Medicade and Medicare. Sure insurance is paying this cost, but all in all who really flips the real bill? Someone is paying the insurance and pharmaceutical companies off for these expenses.
