Obama Administration’s Attack on Plans Americans Have and Like Continues
As if more than one-half trillion dollars in Medicare cuts that could jeopardize access to care wasn’t enough bad news for seniors, analysis released yesterday by Avalere Health, a health care research firm, estimates that 1 in 5 seniors could lose their Medicare Part D plan because of actions taken by President Obama’s Administration. As reported by the Associated Press, these actions risk “undercutting President Barack Obama’s promise that people can keep their health plans if they like them. And it could be an unwelcome surprise for many seniors who hadn’t intended to make a change during Medicare’s open enrollment season this fall.”
This unwelcome news comes on the heels of analysis by the Obama Administration that as many as 7 out of 10 Americans with health coverage through their employer could lose their health plan because of the Democrats new health law; that 9 out of 10 seniors who have retiree drug coverage will lose it; and millions of seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage plan that provide benefits not available in traditional Medicare. So much for being able to keep the health plan you have and like.
my mom didnt get forced out..they just raised the deductable so high it will never cover anything.
Time to rip up all those AARP cards and then tell them it will be hell freezing over before you reapply.
Let me guess: Bush’s fault? /s =.=
What is the percentage of the seniors who voted for Obama ?

The list, ping
Probably not that high. Remember, they are not part of his base. So they weren’t included in his Facebook/Twitter campaign. Ever hear the pro Gay Marriage types talk about how Seniors are the biggest hurdle to their agenda, but they’ll just wait them out because they’ll be dead soon?
‘my mom didnt get forced out..they just raised the deductable so high it will never cover anything.’
Sorry to hear. Has she looked into drug discount plans? Or other programs like at Walgreens?

Just think, it’s still 4 years away. Wait until it actually gets here.
Sad thing is, Canadians, Mexicans and other nationalities that needed health care used to come here. That was because the US was cutting edge and the best health care on the planet. Now they will have no where to go, and we ourselves have to start looking for another country to go to if there is an emergency in our family health.
Pathetic.
As for this article, and all those old eddies that vote demonrat and do what the AARP tells them, well... did you really think the old would be very high on a list that deals with cutting costs and rationing?
I’ve been eligible for many years. I’ve never had one and never will!!!!
