NEWS FLASH...

Part B Medicare payments to Doctors have already been cut

Last year CMS paid 80% for an office visit to my Doctor.
NOW the &%#$@ers at CMS only pay 50%.

So ... what did the Doc do? .. simple, raise the cost for an office visit!
He now clears the same, but now I'M PAYING the rest. I don't blame the Dr. He's got to eat too. It's that friggen usurping Kenyan and his gang of pet monkeys whose to blame.

It now 'costs me' more to go see my Family Dr, a General Practitioner, than it does when I go to see my Orthopedic Surgeon for a Cortisone shot. 'SERIES', the office visit cost for the Specialist is now less than for a GP, go figure that one out!?!

If you are on Medicare, you are effectively a welfare recipient.

The money that pays for your care is being paid, this year, by taxpayers who are in the workforce.

And those taxpayers are going to have to pay more and more and more, every year, for you to receive those services.

So perhaps you might want to turn down the "how dare they cut MY benefits" sense of entitlement just a notch or two, mmkay??.

By the way, I'm looking at my 57th birthday this year....
