Kathleen Sibelius (Obama's Health czarina) sent me a reassuring message about Medicare under Obama's new law. It came as a shiny, expensive pamphlet inside the first-class official business envelope from the Department of Health and Human Services (Penalty for Private Use $300) titled: "Medicare and the New Health Care Law -- What it Means for You." The brochure includes "A Message from Kathleen Sibelius" -- complete with her official title. She seems afraid I might be worried about what the new health care law really means for me.
She starts out on page one: "The Affordable Care Act passed by Congress and signed by President Obama this year will provide you and your family greater savings and increased quality health care." Clearly, she's going to give me better care for less money. She adds: "...you, your family, and your doctor -- not insurance companies -- have greater control over your care." Better yet! Then she promised me: "Your guaranteed Medicare benefits won't change -- whether you get them through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. Instead, you will see new benefits...." Now, I'm feeling great! After all the doubts the nasty Republicans spread about ObamaCare, thank you Kathleen, I should have had more faith!

Keep that mailer for posterity. We are.
I am collecting the o-joker stickers to give to my kids (when I have some). I figure all the negative stuff will have value.
I’m going to write “where the sun doesn’t shine” on it, and mail it back.
You too?
Mine went unread into the huge waste paper drum at the Post Office

Does it have a postage paid envelope with it? If so, stuff it full of junk mail and send it back!
what medicare pamphlet. Have not seen it, have to ask some of the old folks and disabled about it. sounds like it is a propaganda mailer. there is a letter one of disabled received that beginning June 15, 4 million elderly and disabled recipients will receive a 250.00 check from the government to offset the high cost of medications. notice it is to come just before the mid term elections, a whole 250.00 of tax payers money for 4 million people. it will more playdough money
So not only do we have to TRY and pay for this trillion dollar(if were lucky) boondoggle, we have to pay for their reselling it to us too?
Its the same old lies they repeated over and over again in the unsuccessful year long campaign to get the American people to support this monstrosity before they decided to shove it down our throats anyway.
Now to add insult to injury we have to pay for even more propaganda telling us again what they shoved down our throats.
Great news from the Malabar Front! Our victorious forces have utterly crushed the Eurasian enemy, bringing the end of the war within sight!
Effective immediately, the chocolate ration is being increased from 80 grammes a fortnight to 30 grammes per week.

Oil rationing will increase to insure adequate supplies for our boys at the front. Remember, stay at home so our leaders can travel the world.

You are absolutely right. I received one just as I was leaving the house for a doctor’s appointment. IT IS PROPAGANDA! It was obvious if you’re not a lib with a desire for government takeover of medical services. Frankly, it scared the heck out of me. But, it is written to impress the idiots who trust the government, and to get more votes for libs.
She goes on: "Community health care teams will provide patient-centered care so you won't have to see multiple doctors who don't work together." That means, I won't often be referred to a specialist; those primary care teams are going to take care of me. ObamaCare was set to pay specialists the same as primary care doctors, so why will there be any specialists? The extra years and training will be worthless (and pointless) -- from a new doctor's point of view.
