With that said, being that the United States spends as much per-capita on Medicare and Medicaid as other developed nations spend on their entire healthcare systems, this does beg the question "where is all the money going?"

I believe the money is being wasted on a criminally inefficient system. Although I like the idea of medicaid in theory, I do not agree with how it is run and the way it has acted on solving certain logistical issues. It operates in a very flawed manner imo. I think a hybrid system where the national sector could go to benefit 100% of Americans could be done in a way which operates far more efficiently than the current system.
