I hate to say this but if you are over the age of 55 or a health care professional and voted for Obama, you deserve everything you get. I just hate that I’m going to get it, too:
The Obama administration is planning new cuts to Medicare, a federal regulatory filing reveals, cuts that could mean higher premiums or seniors losing their coverage altogether.
The new cuts come in the form of a planned reduction in the reimbursement rates the government pays to insurance companies that operate Medicare Advantage plans, which are services administered by private for-profit or non-profit providers that offer additional services than can be found in traditional Medicare.
In a Feb. 15 regulatory filing, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the surprised rate cuts of 2.3 percent – meaning it would pay health care providers 2.3 percent less for providing services to patients.
CMS said it was cutting payments because it foresaw the overall costs of the Medicare Advantage program shrinking by 3.2 percent, despite the fact that health care costs – the driver of all federal health care program costs – are only rising.
This is what post-modernists do – they make up their own “truth” like reality doesn’t matter, so these morons are cutting your reimbursements even though costs are going up.
Take my Grand Kathrine’s advice: Don’t get old!
One of the worst things about getting old is that one is forced to use Medicare. How the heck did that come about? This is all geared to seniors eventually not being eligible for medical treatment. They aren’t of any use anymore, so why treat them, right? This is the end result of progressivism .
