noYes, I did. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found last month that the Medicare provisions in the health care law would save $700 billion over a decade and extend the life of Medicare.
The prescription drug cost savings and the 100% coverage of preventative services will help Seniors and improve Medicare.
Ok.....so how is cutting back what is payed providers not cutting back on medicare.....you were paying the doctor $50 for an office visit, the Gov arbitrarily decides they are only going to pay said doctor $25 for the visit....the cost of doing business has not changed....so when said Doctor no longer accepts Medicare has their care been cut?
they just go to another doctor if their doctor refuses to accept medicare....at least that is how it has worked so far....
insurance companies ALSO do NOT pay anywhere near the Doctor's ''asking'' price as well!
ALSO, it's all a tax gimmick for Doctors to list a very high price, claiming it to be his normal price, then they take a tax right off between the difference is my understanding of it....in your example, between the $50 and the $25, which equals $25 to write off.
Premiums, that amount that is charged to the insureds....has to be submitted AND approved by......
wait for it....
The GOVERNMENT......
Don't taze me bro....it's already been done ole JoeBoy.
That guy was tazed at a Kerry event, and you guys did raise bloody hell, even though Kerry himself said that the cops overreacted.
A lot of you also cheered when those guys pepper-sprayed those OWS protestors.
Thank you for acknowleding the correctness of my point....
You mean the OWS people throwing rocks at the police, the ones shitting on cop cars, the ones craeting graffiti all over public buildings, the ows people raping women, the ows people generally obstructing the public...yup, I cheered it.
They are the rubbish of America and as law breakers they deserved much more.

Historically it's been a rare state that requires outright approval of premium increases. In fact, if you lived outside the northeast, you've generally been out of luck. That may be changing to a degree now, but it's still a matter left to state discretion.
Although with the coming preponderance of federal exchanges for insurance (since red states are choosing to cede control over their individual markets to the feds), this might soon be a federal prerogative. I'll need to look that up to see what their options are. Thanks.

Um, hardly. You guys did bitch about it, and it was Kerry, not Obama. And I don't even think this guy was a right wing type. He was actually kind of a goof.

Um, but too bad these guys weren't actually doing that. They were peacefully protesting.

Well, we can't all get on our kneepads for multi-national corporations like you do...
Sorry no, thats why every state has an insurance commissioner....and it is the law.
The exchanges aren't actually new, they just expand the power of the Commissioners office...

Most insurance commissioners don't have the authority to reject premium increases.
They have the authority to enforce state insurance laws. Not quite the same.
The exchanges aren't actually new, they just expand the power of the Commissioners office...
They are indeed. Few states actually have transparent individual marketplaces at the moment.
Lucky man! He's got medicare. Gone before I can claim my share... Thanks GOP!
That old guy is a democrat party heckler sent there to engage in mayhem. He is no different than the clown who claimed that Romney killed his wife because that clown was fired and lost his insurance but that clown hid the fact that his wife had health insurance from her employer.
The democrat party is parading a bunch of operatives to engage in this kind of lies and deceit.

ONLY approves plans will be available through the exchanges....who decides what an "approved plan" is...the exchanges...who decides what can be charged ny the Insurers...the exchanges....what constitutes an "approved plan"???
Only those insurers who adopt coverages determined by....
The exchanges, sorry friend I've read it too.

No sorry...as I said, anyone who has taken any State's licensing exam knows that the commissioner has to approve ANY premium increase OR changes to coverage.

do you think the republicans do the same thing?.....
That 500 billion dollar cut actually takes money from Medicare Advantage which is not Medicare but a way for Seniors to buy private insurance.
The ACA didn't take a dime from Seniors. The primary financial change were reductions in payments to providers and Hospitals not services that would be provided to patients.

You better call the CBO!! They think you're full of shit.
Nope, the above is true. Just look it up.
In addition to what I wrote above. Here is what is being done to provide more services for Seniors which is backed up by CMS itself.
The Centers for Medicare And Medicaid Services (CMS) released data showing that over 5.2 million seniors and people with disabilities have already saved nearly $4 billion on prescription drugs as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act.
Affordable Care Act now allows Medicare to provide all of these preventive screens without a deductible or co-payment.
.Bone mass measurement
.Cervical cancer screening, including Pap smear tests and pelvic exams
.Cholesterol and other cardiovascular screenings
.Colorectal cancer screening (except for barium enemas)
.Diabetes screening
.Flu shot, pneumonia shot, and the hepatitis B shot
.HIV screening for people at increased risk or who ask for the test
.Mammograms
.Medical nutrition therapy to help people manage diabetes or kidney disease
.Prostate cancer screening
