Healthcare Bill - Medicare Advantage Plan Will Be Cut!


Many of whom I share emails with are either on, will be on, or have parents on Medicare. This morning I heard that the Medicare Advantage Plan would be "cut" should the current version of the Healthcare Bill pass. Yes, there is talk that the bill will not pass, however what if it does? We need to keep our lawmakers aware of our views on any proposed legislation. The current Healthcare Bill (H.R.3200) is likely one of the most important bills you will have seen in your lifetime. It will affect the seniors soonest and their children will follow. Reading a 1900 page bill with near 400,000 words by oneself is simply out of the question. So keep your eyes on the headlines then narrow and focus on the certain aspects of the bill that will have the largest impact on you and your family. Then, take the time to let your lawmakers know how you feel.

In a recent interview John Boehner told us that in and amongst the proposed "cuts" to H.R.3200, an attempt to meet the Presidents monetary goal, that Medicare Advantage Plan would be cut! "And remember, the president said no one will be forced from the insurance policy they have today. If they like it, they can keep it." (Boehner) How can you keep what the government takes away?
