Ron Paul's H.R.151

Full text is here, but what the hell is he up to??

First he strikes Paragraph 3 of this: http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title18/1802.htm

As far as I can tell, it will let Doctors charge Medicare whatever they like for any service??  Am I wrong?

Then he states this: "No persons otherwise eligible for old-age benefits under Social Security shall be denied such benefits because of their voluntary refusal to participate in any part of the Medicare program."

I can only interpret that to mean, if you never "voluntarily" paid into Medicare, you can still have full benefits when you hit 65??  Where in the Constitution does it say this is ok?
