Just hope and pray, Spinderella, that the 10 million seniors who will be forced out of the medicare advantage program in the next few years don't punish your hero in 2012.

Going from a maximum out of pocket per year of 3-10k to 20% unlimited will shirley piss a few million of them off.

I hear the insurance industry whining ... and desperately playing loopholes and the blame game as their free ride subsidies for MA from the government have been cut off.

Yet these "bad" plans cover over 10 million seniors enrolled with premiums ranging for $0 - $150/month with low max out of pockets, no-cost preventative care, low co-pays, gym memberships etc.

Yeah that won't piss a few million of them off. And really truth be told that generation never bases their votes for selfish reasons...they're more concerned about the younger generation. I'm sure they'll be more concerned with the insurance companies making a profit in a capitalist society. They'll gladly take the hit in their pocketbooks for the greater good.

Hand me the rose-coloured glasses.

Or Amnesty. That should do it.

Went to the Doctor today and as he was writing out prescriptions for me, I mentioned to him that in June I would become a Medicare subscriber. He assured me that this was no problem, but he told me that Medicare had cut 30% of their payments to him in Dec 09 and just this month reduced their payments to him by 21%. So, if he was receiving 100 dollars a visit in Dec, in May 2010 he'd be getting 49 dollars.
If this is the solution to Medicare costs rising, the Doctors will be run out of business, and the new generations of Docs will be burned out,underpaid, and overworked before they've been an MD for 10 yrs. Does anybody see a problem here??
