What about the nearly trillion dollars in cuts to Medicare that Obama made, to pretend that Obamacare was feasible???
Oh dont worry, I got it.
Paying the now TWENTY PERCENT co pay on my 84 year old mother’s colonoscopy, which comes to about 1,200, compared to 10 bucks 5 years ago.
As long as obama’s sons are covered, i’m happy to do it!

How about the 5 years with no COLA for SS...and the two years where they did raise them went entirely for Part B....right out of your check.
That is a big problem. The cuts effect service and restricts it.
Medicare is our primary Tricare Life is Secondary, neither cover needed items. Or restrict what is covered. Low/slow reimbursement makes finding docs hard especially if you are in the market for a new Primary. The one we have can’t handle multiple health issue patients. A 10 min ins doc who can’t get your scripts right even when you print them out for her.
Does not cover items like hearing aids, glasses or orthotics for non diabetic people with Peripheral Neuropathy. Just the Doc and meds. Neurologist will tell you PN is PN regardless of what causes it. So why are Diabetics treated better? When a medical condition needs what is considered a ‘cosmetic’ fix, it’s not covered, even if for medical reasons.
We were DOD MANDATED to use the Military Base Pharmacy or FRAUD prone Express Scripts for all our daily meds. Clumsy system. You fill at the base, refills come for our area out of Pensacola takes 5 days, ES is a month to fill and 2 weeks to refill NO ID sign for and we are talking nearly $3K in 90 day meds. We get our neighbors too seems Post Office can’t read the addresses. They come in a plastic bag, regardless of temp and moisture. Base is closed all Fed holidays, and after 4 pm and week ends. E script is down half the time. Not designed for handicapped seniors either, just walk in active duty.
