Medicare $200 Billion Raise
So help me out here as I appear to be a little confused. The Democratic-controlled House voted to add more than $200 billion to the deficit to prevent steep Medicare payment cuts to doctors. The measure, approved on a near party-line vote of 243 to 183, is a top priority for the American Medical Association. This could be payback for AMA backing any Healthcare plan the democrats can dream up. Doctors are facing a 21 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates in January unless Congress acts first, the result of a flawed funding-formula that lawmakers have had to step in nearly annually to block in recent years. So work with me hear, this is program they are going to gut $400 Billion from over the next ten years to fund the new Obamacare. So your are telling us that the program that is run amuck with fraud and abuse that will now only pay doctors even less is going to help fund a national healthcare plan. Who believes any of this stuff? How are they getting away with it? Why do the hard hitting folks and the Washington Post and New York Times call them out? It is extremely frustrating to be a Republican conservative watching the country go down the national healthcare road to provide insurance for people who do not have it, being labeled as just an anti Obama or pro big business. This is my dam country and I am proud to be a part of it, what I love most is everyone has a chance here if you work hard and never give up you can achieve great things. It is sad that a safety net for the few must be a catch all for immigrants and other handout worthy people. They do not understand these programs will always keep them down; they will never be free if they must stay below poverty level to qualify. These programs that pay dividends for not getting a better job, pulling yourself up, or just trying harder to grab the golden ring. Back on track could we not have pulled out some of this fraud and abuse to cover the 21 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement?
