"Medicare should not apply to those with a net worth over 2 million..."
This would start a whole new government concept. We have means testing now according to annual income, now we'd add means testing based on assets. What about somebody who inherited a small family business worth over $2 mil and can barely make ends meet? What about somebody with a $2 mil house in New York or California (not all that uncommon) who can barely make ends meet? We'd have a whole new government program with a new government police force, full of exceptions, highly politicized, and corrupt. A new culture of hiding assets would thrive. It would eventually get as corrupt as all the other government programs that are supposed to help, and end up making things worse.
