Reality Check: Eliminating Waste in Medicare Advantage Will Not Affect Benefits
Loading...
Uploaded by whitehouse on Sep 22, 2009
Mike Hash of the White House Office of Health Reform gets into deeper detail on how reform would eliminate wasteful subsidies to insurance companies in the Medicare Advantage program, without hurting benefits or care and leaving the trust fund intact. To the contrary, it will strengthen Medicare's long-term stability and save seniors money. September 22, 2009. (Public Domain)

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.

Buy your own private insurance--why is that hard to get? Nobody's stopping you from paying doctors cash. Clearly that's what you prefer, and your freedom to do so is intact.

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.

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?
