1. Be ware of Medicare advantage ...a popular but privatized plan

3. I agree.

What is not known until it is too late is that these "Advantage" plans limit participants to restricted networks. In many cases, pre authorizations are required that may not be needed with original Medicare. I encourage everyone who can to use original Medicare along with a supplement that is issue age rated. The rate is based on the age when it was issued, and does not increase as age increases. Once on an 'Advantage" plan, it is possible to go back to original Medicare, however, supplement plans will make you go through underwriting. Pre-existing conditions are still a factor with Medigap supplement plans except for the first time you enroll in one at 65.

2. Every time there was a public meeting with our local GOP Senators and/or Reps

someone would ask if an audit of this shit show had been done. They always said they wanted an audit cuz they are such fiscal conservatives. Of course none of them bothered to do anything about it.

4. Corporatization of medicaid

5. The difference between the cost of the service and the price paid is called "profit".

The motive of a private business is to make "profit".

Since Medicaid payments are set, the only way for the private business to make "profit" is to cut service.

Cost cutting is not conducive to good health care.
