Seniors. What are your feelings on Obamas Proposals to gut Medicare Advantage Plans. Are you for it. or not.?

He wants to cut our care to pay for illegals and others. As far as I am concerned, he is deciding who should live and who should die. Seniors may as well sign their own death warrants if they support this.

My mother in law is now 83 years old. She has medicare and AARP supplement. The AARP supplement is $225. a month. She gets $1,006. a month for S.S. She goes to the doctor once a year for her check up unless she has a fall and breaks something. AARP is in this for the money. As soon as I know what is coming down I want to change her to an Advantage Plan. How can she live in her house when her meds are $125. a month, Health Ins. $225. plus whatever medicare takes out of her SS. Along with with electric, gas, food, taxes, house ins. She had some property and we took it out of her name 3 years ago. It is only worth 46,000 but it is the families burial place. So now even though she needs to go to a nursing home unless we sell her house which we will do. It costs $5,000. a month for a decent private room at an old folks home. We are beside ourselves because at that rate her house will be used up in 1.5 yrs. of care. She will not qualify for medicaid for 2 more years .

It sucks to be old then one is treated like a leaper if they live too long. Many Doctors do not take some of the Advantage Plans nor do they take medicare at all. So we already have a problem just with Medicare. What do you think will happen when you put every single breathing person in America on the same system?

RATIONING...............

Patrick, only the AARP management supports the President, not the members. I bet they either change their tune or this time next year there will be different people running AARP. And there are not 49 million people without healthcare, that is an inflated number thrown out by the Dems to gain support. The number is closer to 10 million. While that is still a lot, I don't think we should change the way it works for the other 290 million americans to solve the problem of the 10 million without.

If you voted for Obama, I would think about pealing that bumper sticker off my car, I would be too embarrassed to ride around and let people know.

You do know that the AARP supports Obama's healthcare refrom right? The largest lobbying group for seniors supports the POTUS. I'm guessing that a group of seniors that actively gets involved in politics anytime it can, probably knows more and has a better understanding of the ramifications of Obama's plan, than you do.

I'll support the AARP and their decision to support Obama. You can keep whining.

I have private insurance, but my thinking is that if I make a deal with someone I keep that deal, regardless the cost, because my word is who I am. If someone makes a deal with me I expect no less. The government made a deal with our seniors. They should keep their word.

Patrick B doesn't realize that AARP members are dropping out of this organization specifically because they stand behind this health care bill. It does throw seniors under the bus, but obama is good at that, he did it to his grandmother too (typical white person).

If this is true, he just lost 36 million votes in 2012. The baby boomers will never stand for this. Obama will never be re-elected. I hope he cuts his own damn throat.

Whiteman says lies. Lies he says. But does he offer one thing in

rubuttle. Hell No. SO who is lying, Whiteman and Black man speak

with forked tongue of old. When it comes to this most horrible being

in control in DC. He makes Garfield and JFK look like jokes.

It's a terrible plan that was a winfall for the insurance companies. It will be replaced with something better in the health care reform bill.

well i think medicare should just be eliminated fully
