My daughter's a home health nurse; Medicare CUTS are coming in fast and furious to the agency, effective April 1. Medicare is cutting the amount the agency, and thus the nurses, are paid for each and every facet of each and every visit (which includes enormous amounts of paperwork required by Medicare).
Hang on to your hats folks, it's only going to get worse!!!
I work as a biller for 5 Home Health Agencies (in Fall River, Brighton and other parts of Mass).... The amount of paperwork that needs to be put together in order to get something paid by Medicare is ridiculous... I cannot wait til I have to deal with all the new bureaucracy!
Medicare cuts are bigger than Obamacare. Medicare takes up a huge portion of the federal budget. The government knows that it can't sustain all of its wars and other BS programs, and fund Medicare at the same time. It now need to prioritize its spending, and we can see here by example where those priorities lie.

Nothing could be worse for millions of Americans than the current health system...... it is controlled by huge insurance companies who don't pay or drop you when your health situation needs them the most and that is after paying a fortune in premiums for many years. It is in many cases work related and health care should NOT be associted with employment. It needs medicare/aid to cover the older citizens etc. It is more expensive per capita than Govt. funded health care. It only lasts for the time premiums are paid and has co-pays. It is not efficient. It does not cover pre existing conditions. It is a "rip off"
The affordable health care act is the first step towards America getting a good health care system for ALL American's. The creation of a Govt. funded health care system would mean no more expensive medicare/aid. No more insurance panels coming between you and your Doctor. No more Co pays. No more time limit on cover as it covers you from cradle to grave. No more pre existing conditions clauses or being dropped because of a chronic illness. No more expensive premiums as small tax would cover payments. Another very important aspect of creating a UHC in the USA is that it would probably get rid of unemployment virtually overnight........ it woud need every type of job to get it running and to keep it running, from cleaners to technicians to builders to drivers to security gaurds to cooks to technicians to nurses to doctors etc etc etc etc. It would also be the first real alternative to the Insurance companies so anyone still wanting private insurance would pay vastly reduced premiums.
Anyone who still wants a over priced, extremely selective Insurance based health system here defys belief.
The excuse of how do we pay for it is easy............
No more medicare/aid, vets care, employers having to pay for employees health cover meaning higher salaries to pay the small UHC tax. Renting hospital equipment to te private sector, Non America citizens or legal residents paying for treatment.
The Govt. does NOT come between a patient and his Doctor as the local health professionals run each areas health care trust not the Govt... they just finance it and oversea budgets and safety. This system works and works well but unfortunately the Big Insurance companies in America will not give up their mega mega buck monopoly on the health system here........ it is designed to make money for the CEO's and not for the heath or welfare of American's........... it's 2012 yet America has a 1950's health system with over 50,000 Americans dying each year just from lack of health cover or going bankrupt from medical bills..... Absolutely Elitist and Disgusting!
Disgusting and shameful

Just remember its the republicans who want to cut medicare. You can thank the too.
And Obama did this not to help the citizens but to control our lives more thoughoughly. Please vote him out of office before he's totally destroyed all oil drilling, all manufacturing jobs, has more people on welfare that will have to vote for him to stay on welfare for lack of work. He does not care about anything but POWER!
Yes, he wants to control Americans by having them all have health insurance. Oh the horror. In terms of your drilling comment, have you looked at domestic oil production rates lately? Didn't think so.That tin foil hat a little tight today?

I say B.S to your post.
" No more insurance panels coming between you and your Doctor.". You obviosly haven't kept up with reports on the "new"plan.
Are you trying to tell us the gov't is more efficient then private business?
I am retired and have had insurance ALL my career. I have NEVER been refused service nor have I ever been dropped. And non of my family (I am one 1 of 8) have ever experienced what you whine about.
We have the best health care today then in any time in history.
heart transplants, knee and hip replacements, curing cancer, and on and on.
We have medicines today that doctors only dreamed of years ago.
Things we never had years ago.
Research and development takes billion of dollars and years to develop.
If you think gov't run health care will do abetter job, I have a bridge to sell you.
Curing cancer? Really? How do we do that now? Oddly, all of the things you are talking about apply equally well in countries with government run healthcare. You get the same treatments in, say, Canada as you do here.
You did make a good caveat here in that you've always had insurance. Lose your job and take one without health insurance. Then tell me how great the quality of healthcare is. If you're going to push the benefits of one system at least discuss the drawbacks as well.
