"Already, an estimated 10.2 million seniors—one out of five in America—have enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Mr. Obama is proposing to cut the program by nearly 20% and thus reduce the amount of money each will have to buy insurance. This will likely force most of them to lose the insurance they have now. Yet Mr. Obama promised in late July in New Hampshire that, "if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan."(emphasis added by me)

Despite some young twit's comment above, whose junk works like a bull in a china closet and gits all pumped up over Viagra, I'm one of those in a Medicare Advantage plan as are most of my Medicare beneficiary clients who live near metropolitan areas.

We're gonna be furious when we have to go back out and re-enroll in one of the miserable old standard "Medicare Supplement" policies that require a big monthly premium in addition to the premium for Part B and Part D already required!!!

Right now I pay only a Part B premium to the government directly from my Social Security and the first $1000 of claims which are screened and vastly reduced by Anthem Blue Cross and have several benefits that I wouldn't get at all with the standard Medicare with a standard supplement policy.

I pity Obama the moment these seniors learn the truth of this and really get screwed without any lovin, so to speak. We already know Obama doesn't need any Viagra to threaten senior's well being!!!

We have SCAN that's better than that.

The standard medicare deduction from Social Security covers it including Part D with no additional expense.

Primary doctors visits are $10 specialists are $25 for the first visit only, follow ups are free.

They do charge $100 for outpatient surgery but if you have an operation in the hospital there is absolutely no charge for anything.

I was in the hospital 7 days for an operation on my colon and there was no charges of any kind.
