To Add a Provision to Reduce Wasteful Dispensing of Outpatient Prescription Drugs in Long-term Care Settings
The Mark would require Medicare Part D prescription drug and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans to employ utilization management techniques, such as blister packs, when dispensing medications to beneficiaries who reside in long-term care facilities in order to reduce waste associated with 30-day fills.
Guess they don’t plan on us staying in nursing homes for long.
Ok so now we unleash HELLLLLL!! Start it up Freepers!!
Hubby just brought home a notice from his employer. Bi-weekly insurance benefit reduced from $56 to $36. The spare $20 going to some BS ‘Healthy living’ initiative. Currently, it is optional to complete a ‘lifestyle’ questionnaire, have on site BP/Cholesterol testing, ‘health line’ call in, etc. etc. Sounds like the next round in extortion from SEIU. If they are going to spend the $$ why not have an on-site exercise facility?
The on-site testing is silly, IMO as that is covered in ones annual check up. Doubt premiums will decrease. This is a HUGH tax on the productive, especially those not in unions.
Bollocks.
