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.
OOO sorry no.....Insurance companies pay the negotiated price...the price that is agreed to by everyone's Lawyers....too bad you don't understand how it works....here's another little nugget for you....
Premiums, that amount that is charged to the insureds....has to be submitted AND approved by......
wait for it....
The GOVERNMENT......
