The Associated Press is reporting that Medicare is undertaking a $30 million ad campaign to make itself better-known to its 40 million participants. That's $750,000 per participant.

If Medicare would tell me what they want people to know, I would gladly visit ten participants in the next ten days and explain to them in person for the bargain price of $5 million. That would save Medicare $2.5 million. Just pitching in to reduce government waste.
