"Your guaranteed Medicare benefits won’t change — whether you get them through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan.”

“First of all, if you've got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan" President Barack Hussein Obama

“Cynics beware, I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it. … The NHS is one of the astounding human endeavors of modern times.” (Donald Berwick)

If you don't file electronically the penalty is $50 per item after the 249th paper copy.

The electronic filing is just the A copy. You still have to stuff the B copy in an envelope and mail it to the recipient. Keep the C copy on file for at least 3 years.

You can keep your doctor.....but your doctor will probably not keep you. They are abandoning patients with Medicare due to non-payment.

Ours is as of Jan 1. Which means hubby and I will have to ‘try’ and find one who will take us. We are not only Medicare but Tricare (retired Military over 65).

Tenncare (Tennessee’s form of Romneycare) is about to bankrupt the state, and they are having to CUT a large number from the rolls.

Hubby is 70 and a retired Senior Chief. We are trying to get in all the major medical stuff before this crap goes into effect. I'm having cataract surgery in Oct. He has a shoulder to be scoped and the arthritis to be cleaned out, most like in Nov. Had one done in June. BUT you have to wait 3 months before Medicare will allow the second one to be done.

Trust me...I understand. My hubby is also getting several things done. He’s at the podiatrist today for an old baseball injury that is being complicated by arthritis.

We are retired Navy too. ;-)

We have had more surgery done this year than in the past 10 years! Trying to preserve vision we’ve both had our eyelids done, I’d lost more than 50% of Peripheral vision due to sagging eyelids. Same for my hubby, he had retienitis a few years ago and can afford to lose any more vision.

I developed Peripheral neuropathy of legs and feet and I’m not a diabetic, so Medicare would not cover the orthotics need for my shoes. Discrimination pure and simple, other diseases cause Peripheral neuropathy besides diabetes.

I bet we aren’t the only old geezers getting delayed treatments or surgeries before 0’nazicare goes into effect.

Calculate your BMI according to the “GOVERNMENT”

http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html

Mine: BTW I catch every thing floating ALL the time at 120 lbs.

Height: 5 feet, 1 inches
Weight: 138 pounds

Your BMI is 26.1, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height.For your height, a normal weight range would be from 98 to 132 pounds.

People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
