My health insurance just went up almost 20% as the mandates have hit sports fans.
Money for nothing and health care "for free" has us producers paying for those that do not.
Add in another year for those that sit on their ass and do not work for their unemployment "benefits".
The self employed get none of that.
America is going down the tubes. No one cares. Everyone wants a damn handout.
Medicare will end in about 10-12 years. GONE as it is a train wreck now. Friend of mine is an auditor/investigator for Medicare program and he says that fraud now is about 25-30% of all dollars spent on Medicare. Russian mafia has thousands of claims daily and nothing is done much as most get paid. Medicare pays $995 for a back brace that you can walk in the store and get one for $195.
So Medicare is gone because Americans will not want any changes.
Prescription Dope plan is a disaster. Can not change that as now Gramps and Granny are dope head pill addicts. My mother in law is 88, takes 12 medications 4 of which are mental health BS and 4 others for the side effects of the other 8.
Medicaid will be overwhelmed with the new law as all it does is dump everyone that can not "afford" health insurance into it. It will be gone in a decade.
Social Security is not so bad but we need immediate cuts, no COLA for 5 years and raise the age to 66.
Slash obsolete military bases, eliminate free lunches for kids and force the fathers to pay and the states will fund the rest, abolish the DEpt. of education and audit social security disability eliminating 60% of those on it as there is nothing wrong with them.
Ban government unions, end free perks for politicians, no block grants for the states and end food stamp distribution at the retail delivery.
Mandatory work for benefit programs.
On and on and on.
Every day a business I started helps Medicare providers 10,000 times a day find out if they are going to be paid by Medicare... SO suffice to say "I UNDERSTAND MEDICARE!!!
So now I've established my bona fides...
I've an access to a database of 6,000+ hospitals AND WHAT THEY BILLED Medicare...
ONE GLARING example:
In 2009 the University Community Hospital in Tampa sent Medicare 2,110 claims for CAT scan no contrast.
Each claim averaged: $2,635 which is what was billed by the hospital to Medicare...
Understand?? Each claim for service averaged $2,635...
But the hospital's ACTUAL COSTS to perform the CAT SCAN was $43 a mark up 6,127.91%
6,000% markup!!! All these idiots marching in the streets against Wall Street GREED????
LISTEN UP! You're local hospitals are in most cases MARKING UP their claims to Medicare/private insurance ALL because of stupid ass congress again!
1986 EMTALA law states if hospital gets Medicare money they must see uninsured patients.... all well and fine when costs were padded and passed on as they have since been done by HOSPITALS to recouped their "uninsured" patients!!!
AGAIN one of those "unintended consequences"!!!
