Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) discusses the independent government report that estimates that 50 percent of seniors on Medicare Advantage can expect to lose that coverage as a result of the government takeover of healthcare.
Everything Medicare from around the web.
the only people fighting to take away medcare advantage plans are the
Republicans! They’re the only party determined to end Social Security &
Medicare (which is perfectly slovent btw) NOT Obama’s healthcare plan,
which actually strengthens Medicare & goes after fraud.
Representative Walden, there should not be the need for “Medicare
Advantage,” which is nothing more than a for-profit insurance foothold in
the Medicare system. Let’s fix Medicare by allowing drug price negotiation,
not by giving more money to private companies to do what Medicare should do
in the first place. These companies are famous for ripping off the
government, and your support for their “Medicare Advantage” plans troubles
me, as one of your constituents.
