Here are some examples of the ramifications of the current Health Care Bill:"As an independent insurance broker for over 25 years, specifically dealing with Senior citizens (ie; Medicare Supplements and the Medicare Advantage Program) The impact of those citizens, should the carriers decide not to renew their contracts with the federal government for the Medicare Advantage, will be devastating. One quick comparison: A senior citizen, 70 years of age under a MA will pay approx. $69 per month (including a prescription benefit). If they must return to traditional Medicare, the average cost of a Medicare Supplement would be $226.49 (Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield) and additional $46.50 per month for the Part D Prescription Benefit. And AARP endorced the Health Care Bill simply because they sell Medicare Supplements underwritten by United Health Care. If all the MA programs in this country were eliminated, that is a potential 10 MILLION new customers for AARP and United Health Care. " Please listen to this very smart doctor. When one checks the facts, he is correct. He stated 46% of the doctors, from what I'm hearing in the field, it's over 60%. The story from the left will probably be the "greedy doctors" wouldn't accept fines and a limited salary based on family practice doctors. That kicks in 2017 according to the healthcare bill. They are rationing by fines and salaries.
