Reality Check: Eliminating Waste in Medicare Advantage Will Not Affect Benefits

[humblaznlv]

Read the bill, everything he said is false. By the way Obama just anounced 1.5 trillion in new taxes. And he already spent ......1.3 trillion. Reality probably more like 3 trillion spent. Let's just charge n convict everyone who voted this through, with treason. And Get them sentenced immediately.

Imagine the efficiency to CMS if they audited claims BEFORE disbursing MILLIONS of dollars weekly electronically, all done automatically, without any cost containment or provider security. You are saving a cup of water from the kitchen sink, while you fill the pool in the back yard.

Hey I've got an Idea! lets all work really hard and dig a gigantic hole in the earth. Then lets throw all of our money in it.

[robhart45]

Mr. President,

I believe you mean every word when you claim that the healthcare system is seriously flawed, the fat cat insurance companies get fatter and the working man pays...and pays.. No doubt its not working! I like the sound of your 'onecare' State option. The problem is you have lost creditibility in convincing us that its cost isn't going to bankrupt the Nation.

I have children, where will America be 50 years from now?

Pres. Obama, where is clunker for college tuition? Another empty speech?

[beauch]

Since when has government EVER produced a sweeping program that is more efficient, cheaper, AND something that people don't take extreme advantage of and abuse? Exactly. Never.

Yes of course Healthcare needs reform, but NOT by giving the government control over it.

It's a recipe for disaster.

Barack Obama: "LET'S JUST THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM AND MAYBE IT'LL GO AWAY! YAY!"

Seriously Obama?

[ritavillezulu]

Human nature has a scale: left/right. Place on the scale is proportional to insecurity and denial one has for Nature. With more anxiety a person will delude himself that Nature is controllable. Anxiety is reduced by a belief in a hierarchical grid that governs Nature. God on top/Niggers and Jews on the bottom. Sex and death cannot be controlled, there is no purpose to our existence. If conservatives would unclench their assh@le they would see that hierarchy reduces anxiety, but ruins their soul.

How do we know which HMOs are receiving subsidies???

those of us who are receiving Prescription Drugs at an affordable cost with an HMO would have a huge increase in costs and in many cases unaffordable costs by returning to the present Medicaid, plus suplemental insurance plus prescription coverage.

[mancrushonhanksnow]

Thank you for debunking yet another right wing *cough* insurance company *cough* smear.

[BrainDeadRepublican]

If Washington could eliminate waste to cut the deficit, why haven't they already done it? Because they can't. The less they pay doctors for stuff that costs more than they get paid for it, the more fraud doctors are forced to commit to make up the loss by accepting medicare patients.

The big health insurance companies cannot be good for Americans because their goal isn't increased health for their customers, it's increased wealth for their shareholders. The government on the other hand is required by law to provide for the common good. It's only good or bad to the extent it does or doesn't do what's in the best interests of the majority.

[JayPhilosopher]

Thank you. This sounds like a good idea.

[underbird]

You Lie.

From the AP: "The head of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Douglas Elmendorf, told senators Tuesday that seniors in Medicare's managed care plans would see reduced benefits under a bill in the Finance Committee."

[Quindal]

cutting costs = cutting benefits

Dear Mr President,

The morons which kiss your ass, and bow down to the banking family elite, are not the majority of the country; they are the media and the higher education institutes, not the American population

All you people that have laid at the feet of the banking family elite will be crushed under them, they care no more about you, than they care about me, they care only for themselves

Analysis: Why everyone is saying no to Obama

By AMIR MIZROCH

[curingaging00]

Hmm this cleared up some misconceptions :)

thx for the vid. Now I know whats really going on.

[towerdawg1976]

Why is cannabis illegal? Could anyone tell me? We could be making food.fiber's,fuel and paper.Plus we should stop giving money to drug dealer's and cartel's who are never going to pay taxes.

[screamingphyscho]

because since hemp is such a good plant that it can be used for medicine, food, clothing, fuel, oils (cosmetics), paper, and building materials, so the companies that already use resources set up in those industries would never want it to be legalized becuase they would loose all that money and may go out of business. All paper, fuel, medical (etc) companies have been making law cases 2 prevent it from being legalized again for a while now.

[WinterHaven]

ummm I think the drug cartel is pettling harder stuff than wacky weed. Yeah I can just see it now: Legalize wacky weed = STONED AMERICA! We already have a nation full of decadent drunks, now they are also going to be stoned on wacky weed!!

Why not look at industrialized countries where it's NOT illegal before you jump to that conclusion.

[AnthonyNews]

i feel it..health care reform is allmost here*****

[WinterHaven]

You can feel it all you want, but ALL of the Republicans don't want any kind of single payer plan, and even rejected by some of the Democratic party. FAIL!!

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

cutting medicare reimbursement by 500 billion dollars will affect benefits. if i was a doctors and they did this i would stop seeing medicare patients all together. they are already doing a charity. doctors arent going to be slaves. i support death panels.

[OlivierdeAthos]

The Medicare Advantage program is a waste of money that doesn't contribute to the quality of healthcare for seniors.

I don't understand people who whine that government doesn't cut waste and inefficiency in Medicare, and then whine when they DO cut waste and inefficiency in Medicare.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

how do you figure that medicare advantage dosent contribute to the quality of care for seniors? since when did healthcare reform have anything to do with quality of care?

[OlivierdeAthos]

"Since when did healthcare reform have anything to do with quality of care?"

I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret asking this, but what do YOU think it has to do with, if not quality of care?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

as has been stated time and time again by the president it is about driving down costs and insuring the uninsured. nobody has ever said anything about quality of care. these reforms will diminish quality of care in favor of lowering costs. 2+2=4

[jarjarbinks77]

They are trying to reduce the cost of health care, not the quality. Under the plan you should be able to get the same or better health care for less money. Not because they made the price of health care cheaper, that would obviously effect quality. But because they are implementing a more organized less wasteful health care industry. They are removing the stuff that cost money but has no benefit. I hope I was clear in my point.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

i understand what you are saying but it isnt true. im sorry.

[jarjarbinks77]

Well nothing said about it is true, its not in place yet. All we can go by is what was promised, until its has been show to be true or untrue. Obama has given no major reason so far for us to doubt his promises. He deserves a chance to make his plans reality before we assume or make up stuff about him or his plans. Until he shows a inability to speak the truth it is best to support are elected leader. If he does eventually fail to meet the expectations set by him, criticize away, I will too.

[OlivierdeAthos]

More expensive does not necessarily mean better. The corollary of this is that cheaper does not necessarily mean worse.  It's called increased efficiency. I'm sure you've heard of it.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

but the proposed plan will bring more inefficiency.

[OlivierdeAthos]

In what way?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

i am not interested in discussing it again.

[OlivierdeAthos]

What a shame. After your comment about supporting death panels, I was hoping for a laugh.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

believe what you want. when your doctor's work load increases and his incentives to work decrease see how efficient the healthcare system becomes and how the quality of care drops. without denying care you can not drive down costs without making doctors slaves which isnt going to happen. i apologize but the fantasy of free healthcare dosent exist.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Having lived in the U.S., Canada, France and Britain, I can assure you that universal health care works, and works better than the current mess that exists in the United States. And it works better while costing a little over half as much (10% GDP v 16% GDP).

"Free" healthcare is indeed a fantasy, but nobody is peddling that. It's a straw man.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

the quality of healthcare is lower in all of those countries.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Are you going to back up your assertion with any evidence?

I don't expect you to believe the WHO ranking which puts all of those countries ahead of the U.S., but how about the Commonwealth Fund study ranking the U.S. last in preventable deaths with all of those other countries doing much better?

reuters. com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN­07651650

What (statistical rather than anecdotal) evidence do you have that healthcare in the U.S. is better?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

those WHO statistics are skewed.

The rankings are made from 5 factors weighted as below:

1. Health Level: 25 percent

2. Health Distribution: 25 percent

3. Responsiveness: 12.5 percent

4. Responsiveness Distribution: 12.5 percent

5. Financial Fairness: 25 percent

who gives a shit if the WHO ranks mombasa above the united states. their healthcare may be equal but who cares if everyone gets nothing.

we rank number one in responsiveness and responsiveness distribution. sorrry not a UN cultist here

[OlivierdeAthos]

Fair enough, you reject the WHO ranking. What about the other study I cited, or this meta-study showing that even the dreaded Canadian system has better health outcomes in most measures than the U.S. system?

ajph. org/cgi/reprint/96/7/1300

What evidence are you citing? (And please don't cite the debunked 5 year cancer survival rate data, since they do not compare cancer survival rates by stage.)

[Henroidt]

You can slam WHO all you want, but WHO was the only voice during the Swine Flu scare that was noting the facts behind it (not a lot of people were dying from it in the States, it's basically a regular flu and you just need to take care of yourself accordingly, etc), while the American media was making it out to be astronomically scary.

So, if anything, you might want to give WHO some credit.

[WinterHaven]

You obviously are living in a fantasy world, that Canada only has 33 million people--the size of California. America has 307 million people and one out of four are morbidly OBESE and gun toting America costing $125 billion a year just to treat gunshot wounds. Our culture is far more violent than Canada. We simply CANNOT AFFORD IT.

[OlivierdeAthos]

America's PER CAPITA health cost is almost double what it is in Canada or any other developed country, while still leaving millions uninsured and millions more underinsured. The truth is we can't afford to continue paying twice as much, serving fewer people, and not getting as good an outcome.

As for population size, a competitive national healthcare exchange would work better BECAUSE of the market share. Japan's universal HC system works pretty well with a population of 130 million.

[john51880]

I have seen first hand the canadian system. No thanks!

[underbird]

Um you lie... again. Democrat Sen. Nelson: "I think it would be intolerable to ask the senior citizens who have (Medicare Advantage) to give up substantial health benefits that they're enjoying." So even your own party is against this.

[shad0fx]

Why doesn't the government concentrate on more important issues. like the fact that factories all across the country are getting shut down. how about the crisis hitting the country called lack of jobs? what's the point of giving everyone healthcare when there aren't any jobs to help with money for their families. What's the point of having healthcare for everyone when we are going to be paying off the debt to the US in taxes for a millenia, but there wont be able to get a job to do exactly that.

[WinterHaven]

Exactly! If Obama would stick with for example green jobs, more people would get health insurance. Also tons of infrastructure needs repair. Ohh no let's do everything else except get America working again.

[shad0fx]

He used to be that way... remember the speaches about promoting engineering and helping students in the research fields... how this country needs people to push the country forward... well from experience it not only takes a lot of smarts to get the country moving forward, but it also takes a lot of little guys in behind doing the greesy grubby work... One simply can't just make a fine car without having someone equally skilled who can fix that same car!

Hopefully Jobs will come around soon!

[shad0fx]

What ever happened to all the campaign promises that he made... One day i'd like a candidate who has the conviction to promote what he will change, and have him stick with it when he gets into office.

[Drumvain]

Bush also ran on change. It's all bullshit to sucker you into believing every 4 years you have A choice. Obama is A corporate controlled fraud.

[WinterHaven]

Lies: Obama promised to get a shelter dog but instead got a breeder dog under the guise it was a rescue. Bo's breeder said that water dog is NOT a rescue. If Obama can't keep a SIMPLE no brainer promise as in choice of dog, & there are tons of purebred poodles in pounds everywhere-what makes you think he will make good with his bigger promises. Obama LIED from the very get-go, starting with CHOICE OF DOG. Now the bigger lies are happening. Obama broke his promise to MILLIONS of animal lovers.

[WinterHaven]

It seems to me the government wants everybody to live off the government tit instead of-heaven forbid-work for a living. Our country was built on a work ethic. The SOLUTION is to get people JOBS. But no jobs is a low priority. Let's get health care reform done. First. If you get people jobs they WILL get health care from their employers. How simple can it be? Green jobs. Infrastructure. EVERY COUNTY needs power plants-solar, wind, ocean turbines. They can generate TONS of useable clean energy.

[WinterHaven]

Of course it will deplete from Medicare-nice job White House hiring this old coot to try to "relate" to the seniors in selling a single payer plan. I would say that's pretty brilliant! Now how much money did he get to say this. Medicare can hardly stay afloat as is so how can America afford this single payer plan. No way, no how! All the obese Americans and drug seekers. Doctors are going to take advantage of it to the max like they do Medicare now.

[joshuag5732]

It will not take anything away from Medicare. It will reduce the waste and improve the program.

[WinterHaven]

Sure it will - they make cuts to medicare all the time. Medicare is poorly run and there is a LOT of waste -hasn't it every occurred to you if they can't run Medicare right that they won't with this single payer option.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Single payer and public option are two different things.

Also, private insurance has a 30% administrative cost, while Medicare has a 4% overhead, and the Canadian single payer system has a 1% overhead.

pnhp. org/publications/nejmadmin. pdf

From an administrative overhead standpoint the public insurers are pretty good. Fraud and abuse are not so good, but we don't know how they compare to the private sector because private HMOs don't reveal those numbers to us for comparison.

[WinterHaven]

Call it what you want-it's going to be paid for by the same source: cash. If you don't think doctors won't take advantage of the "single payer/public option" or whatever you want to call it-can I sell you some swamp land? They routinely abuse Medicare already.

[WinterHaven]

No it's not-they are the same thing-because eventually more and more employers will choose "public option" because it's cheaper. Wal-Mart supports public option because they don't want to have to pay for their employees' health benefits. Public option will be a CASH COW for doctors who will live luxurious lives of champaigne and caviar-we have a nation of hypochondriacs and drug seekers (because of their back pain) who will LOVE to get hospitalized & get their Diludid and morphine highs-legally

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

are you still harping on this? i already told you the WHO is an evil globalist organization. give it up already. america dosent want to be a nanny state.

[OlivierdeAthos]

I didn't say anything about the WHO in this thread. Is your ADD acting up again?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

you cited the WHO statistics and i told you why they were irrelevant to individual quality of care and you never responded. because i am correct. individual quality of care is the highest in the united states compared to any other healthcare system in the world.

[stanjz]

Who are you to say that the WHO is an evil globalist organization? Our largest U.S. corporations are huge multi-national corporations. Many of the things they do are evil.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

what makes you think there is a large degree of separation between the two?

[stanjz]

What makes you think there isn't? There isn't a difference at all between Republicans and big business. There is little between them and blue dog Democrats, but there is substantial difference between progressive Democrats and big business. That is why politics is so partisan in this country. Progressive Democrats are in favor of principles of competition, home ownership and competition. Republicans aren't for capitalism; they're for corporatism.

[diogenes49]

not true by a long shot. it is somewhere around 9th or tenth. don't believe everything your fox buddies tell you

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

i get my information from medical doctors. sorry old man. nobody is going to save your decrepit ass. not even obama.

[joshuag5732]

The bill will reduce the waste. Medicare is a popular program, so popular in fact that if any politician tries to mess with it, they soon become ex politicians. Has it ever occurred to you that the public option will be just as popular?

[TrollBuster9090]

"Has it ever occurred to you that the public option will be just as popular."

I don't know whether it's occurred to the regular people who oppose the public option or not, but I know for a fact that it's occurred to the HMOs. That's why they're spending 1.4 million PER DAY to lobby Congress to kill the public option.

Put another way, if a kidney transplant costs 100K, the HMOs are nixing 14 of them every day just for the luxury of lobbying Congress to keep the money flowing.

[OlivierdeAthos]

The White House didn't hire this "old coot" to relate to seniors. He's not a pitch man.

Michael Hash has been the Senior Advisor to the Health and Human Services Office of Health Reform since May, and has been a Congressional staffer since 1993.

[WinterHaven]

Of course he's a pitch man-what do you think he's doing now.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Earning a White House staffer's salary, which would be the same whether he made youtube movies or not. The White House didn't hire him specifically to sell health care reform to Seniors using identity politics.

[WinterHaven]

Most senior citizens are OPPOSED to public option for fear it will become the decline of their own care-which WILL happen. Public option is horrendously expensive. We have a nation full of the obese (one out of four) with bad backs: KFC/McDonalds devotees & diabetes. About half of Americans are diabetic due to KFC/McDonalds lifestyles. Of course monies will be diverted from Medicare to fuel the bottomless pit of public option. We CANNOT afford it. Period. This will cost TRILLIONS of dollars.

[MahonFilms]

the reason rumors are circulating is because obama isnt going to do what he says he's trying to do. he says lots of nice things in his speeches, and then the bills dont involved any of them.

[hansrosbach]
