Obviously your numbers are fake.
Budget is $4.2 trillion overall.
Medicare costs $630 billion, it covers 14% of the population.
Run the numbers.

The oldest and sickest 14% of the population.
Surely you, a doctor, don't think that the average annual health cost for a 70yo is equivalent to the average annual health cost for a 30yo.
