Apparently you are not understanding how the...Anon,<br />Apparently you are not understanding how the Medicare Advantage plans work. The GOVERNMENT FUNDS these plans with Medicare $$ and allow private healthcare companies to administer them. These plans are carefully regulated to NOT allow private healthcare companies to deny coverage or to charge willy nilly / whatever they want. AND, these M.A. plans are NOT available in all areas across the country. <br /><br />I will write another blog about this to help you and others understand how the process works.<br /><br />Additionally, the LARGER ISSUE is, with Ryan's plan the government/Medicare will NOT FUND his New Plan. Instead, seniors will be provided a Voucher and Healthcare Companies will charge seniors whatever they want and refuse pre-existing conditions, etc etc, as they want. In other words, Medicare, as we know it, will END and will be obliterated.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-88976138438311476832011-04-14T08:54:15.428-05:002011-04-14T08:54:15.428-05:00Secure Horizons does not cover my cousin's are...Secure Horizons does not cover my cousin's area.

You are right. The Prescription Drug progr...Mickey,<br />You are right. The Prescription Drug program (PDP) is a nightmare and is an example of what happens when private healthcare is allowed to manage a program without much oversight.<br /><br />Here is what is currently happening with most PDPs:<br /><br />1. Healthcare providers are allowed to set the price of the plan<br /><br />2. They are also allowed to set the co-pays.<br /><br />3. DoNut Hole: The donut hole is a HUGE surprise for most consumers. Again, the private healthcare companies set the donut hole starting rate. So, for example:<br />1) PDP subscriber pays the deductible.<br />2) DoNut Hole = STOPS paying when out of pocket cost of drugs (for example)= $2500. What they don't tell you is, this is the actual cost of drugs and NOT what seniors pay for the drug. When the plan 1st began, when seniors reached Drug Costs of $2500, then they began paying 100% of cost of drugs until they reached the catastrophic drug costs of $4500, then they again received the lower rate.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-90142602831685662472011-04-13T19:37:21.280-05:002011-04-13T19:37:21.280-05:00What worries me most is, IF Ryan is successsful, w...What worries me most is, IF Ryan is successsful, what will happen to the seniors in the low income, rural areas. <br /><br />It will be a nightmare!<br /><br />You cannot rely on the Rich Healthcare companies to care for our elderly sick and poor!!!!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-44058975503383328222011-04-13T19:30:52.506-05:002011-04-13T19:30:52.506-05:00Anon,
No. I am not wrong.
Go to medicare.com or to...Anon,<br />No. I am not wrong.<br />Go to medicare.com or to securehorizons.com. Enter your zipcode. Enter your cousins zip code. <br /><br />Remember: These plans are all FUNDED by the Federal Government. <br /><br />You continue to pay your $110 to Medicare. They are actually paying for your coverage. Actually, if you had NO Medicare Advantage plan at all, Medicare would pay 80% of your hospital costs and 80% of your doctor costs. For the majority of locations, this is what would be paid.<br /><br />Now, go to these websites and enter a zip code for Miami, San Antonio or Los Angeles. You will find Medicare Recipients pay Zero Copay for their healthcare needs. ASK YOURSELF WHY! <br /><br />I have numerous more examples!!!<br /><br />Overall, Ryan and Blackburn are VERY WRONG!!! America just needs to understand what is happening and I hope some diligent takes me up on my offer!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-41614744978072494882011-04-13T19:15:17.919-05:002011-04-13T19:15:17.919-05:00Prescription Drug Benefit.

Beginning in 2006, prescription coverage would be available to seniors through private insurers for a monthly premium estimated at $35. There would be a $250 annual deductible, then 75 percent of drug costs up to $2,250 would be reimbursed. Drug costs greater than $2,250 would not be covered until out-of pocket expenses exceeded $3,600, after which 95 percent of drug costs would be reimbursed. Low-income recipients would receive more subsidies than other seniors by paying lower premiums, having smaller deductibles, and making lower co-payments for each prescription. The total cost of the new prescription drug benefit would be limited to the $400 billion that Congress had budgeted earlier this year for the first 10 years of this new entitlement program. The House adopted the conference report on H.R. 1 on November 22, 2003 by a vote of 220 to 215 (Roll Call 669).<br />Marsha Blackburn Voted FOR this bill.<br />Marsha Blackburn is a Hypocrite.<br />Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman<br />See her unconstitutional votes at :<br />http://mickeywhite.blogspot.com/2009/09/tn-congressman-marsha-blackburn-votes.html<br />MickeyMickeyWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309059213121484319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-80209643961698547922011-04-13T19:08:47.386-05:002011-04-13T19:08:47.386-05:00I have Medicare Advantage.
