Nine out of ten Medicare recipients have private, supplementary insurance to cover what Medicare doesn't.

By 2018, less than 10 years from now, Medicare Part A will be running a deficit of close to $100 billion. General revenue contributions for Medicare Parts B and D that year are now projected to be $364 billion. Consequently, the deficit for Medicare alone that year will be close to $500 billion, and that assumes a scheduled reduction, which Congress will surely reverse, in doctor and hospital reimbursements of more than 20 percent.

Instead of finding ways for people to purchase more private insurance and take the burden off Govt- obama wants govt to take the whole program- and convince people it saves the govt money....!

Lots of seniors were born at night- but it wasn't last night.
