Seniors Do You Still Believe AARP Is On Your Side
AARP Continues to Lie to Seniors... They are in this for the money when are you going to wake up and dump them... They are under Obama's wing and we are being sold out at every turn. Wake UP America......
I hope you are not a United Health Customer, you may lose your doctor.
Thousands of Doctors Dropped from Medicare Advantage
by John Nolte 16 Nov 2013 1270
The Wall Street Journal reports that private insurance provider United Health is dropping thousands of doctors from its Medicare Advantage networks. Medicare Advantage is very popular with senior citizens, but United Health says that "government cuts" will "leave many elderly patients unsure whether they need to switch plans to continue seeing their doctors."
The insurer said in October that underfunding of Medicare Advantage plans for the elderly could not be fully offset by the company's other healthcare business. The company also reported spending more healthcare premiums on medical claims in the third quarter, due mainly to government cuts to payments for Medicare Advantage services.
The Journal report said that doctors in at least 10 states were notified of being laid off the plans, some citing "significant changes and pressures in the healthcare environment." According to the notices, the terminations can be appealed within 30 days.
President Obama promised every American they could keep their doctor under ObamaCare. This is another promise not being kept, this time for legions of senior citizens. United Health President Austin Pittman attributed the decision to drop all these doctors directly to ObamaCare:
Financial pressures from the U.S. government are pushing UnitedHealth Group to drop thousands of doctors, the firm's president said.
"That's what's driving our actions. It's no secret that we are under substantial funding pressure from the federal government," said President Austin Pittman.
Democrats and the media will do their best to claim that ObamaCare had nothing to do with the decision by United Health to drop thousands of doctors, but that is just not going to fly. The American people know that ObamaCare was built to be The Great Healthcare Disruptor. And senior citizens know that in order to pay for ObamaCare, Democrats raided over $700 billion from Medicare, most of it from Medicare Advantage.
From the Wall Street Journal: [emphasis added]
UnitedHealth Group reported a third-quarter profit of $1.57 billion last month, but Chief Executive Stephen J. Hemsley has issued cautious outlooks for 2014, citing expected cuts in Medicare payments tied to the Affordable Care Act.
Medicare Advantage, an alternative to traditional Medicare, combines hospital and doctor coverage and often includes prescription drugs and perks like gym memberships. Enrollment has more than doubled since 2004 to 13 million in 2012, which represents about 27% of Americans on Medicare.
The federal government pays private insurers a per-capita fee to manage the benefits. The rate is currently about 12% more than the average Medicare patient spends annually. The Obama administration plans to cut those extra payments to insurers by about $150 billion over the next 10 years to help pay for the health law. Some experts expect enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans to decline sharply if that occurs.
Because President Obama delayed the employer mandate, the worst of ObamaCare has not yet hit. We are only at the beginning of a rolling catastrophe. Once the employment market gets walloped next year, a few million people having their insurance canceled and a few million senior citizens losing their doctors will look like the good old days.

National Health Care - Do We Really Want It
CA, NM, MS, AL, IL, KY, OH, NY, MA, SC, IL
These 11 States now
have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.
Furthermore:
There are actually two messages here. The first is very
Interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years
after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received
treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it
within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within
one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are
in "excellent health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%
And now for the last statistic:
National Health Insurance?
U.S. NO
England YES
Canada YES
Check this last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt............... 38%
Taft............................ 40%
Wilson ...................... 52%
Harding...................... 49%
Coolidge..................... 48%
Hoover ...................... 42%
F. Roosevelt............... 50%
Truman...................... 50%
Eisenhower................ 57%
Kennedy.................... 30%
Johnson..................... 47%
Nixon........................ 53%
Ford.......................... 42%
Carter........................ 32%
Reagan...................... 56%
GH Bush.......................... 51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush........................ 55%
Obama........................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.
Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media. Giving someone a hand up is noble. Our history and the aforementioned facts are clear. Giving someone a handout in order to make them dependent is just WRONG!
Now you see why Congress does not want to be a part of it.....

WE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING
I have no problem sending this to
EVERYONE. Please consider doing the same,
It's incredible that 42% of
Americans think that this unqualified, incompetent, dishonorable, ego-driven
fraud is doing a good job.
Take a moment. Admit it to
yourself. You know who his supporters are. They are the people that YOU
support -- financially.
Did you notice whom Obama
threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling? He
threatened not to pay:
- Social Security Retirees
- Military Retirees
- Social Security Disability
and
-Federal Retirees.
Now let this sink in really
well...
- He did not threaten to stop
payments to illegal aliens.
- He did not threatened to take
frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates.
- He did not offer to fire some
of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired.
- He did not offer to cut down on
his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around $20
Million
already spent on family
vacations. (One Million on a FL golf outing). All our money...why not?
- He didn't threaten farm subsidies.
- He did not threaten not to pay
the senators and representatives or any of their staff.
- He did not threaten to take
benefits away from welfare recipients or to stop the free
cell phones they get.
- He did not threaten the food
stamp programs.
- He did not threaten to reduce
payments in FOREIGN aid.
- He did not threaten to cut back
on anything that involves his base voters.
- The list could go on and
on. He is in full political mode!
Why are we allowing this person
to destroy our wonderful country with his selfishness and his lies? ave
WE lost our blooming minds!!!!!!!!
His type of change is killing our
country. He needs to be stopped.
Do not forget about his tactics
when it's election time 2014.
Get out and vote in
the mid-term election - 2014. Support the people in the House and Senate that
are willing to cut taxes and spending.
Let's make 2014 - the beginning
of a turnaround. Forget change. We want our country back and we want to take
our $$$$$$$ back!
We the people are coming.
THIS JUST MIGHT BE OUR LAST SHOT AT BRING AMERICA BACK TO THE SOUND FOOTING THAT MADE US THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. WE CAN ALLOW AMERICA TO GO BANKRUPT IN ORDER TO LIVE ABOVE OUR INCOME LINE. YOU AND I CAN NOT RUN OUR LIVES IN THAT MANNER IT IS SIMPLE 101 ECONOMICS... SPENDING MUST NOT EXCEED INCOME.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE B S THAT THE MEDIAL IS PUTTING OUT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BEING THE REPUBILICIANS FAULT.... WE SENT THEM TO WASHINGTON TO CURB RUN AWAY SPENDING AND BORROWING. IT IS THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT WHO REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE AND REDUCE SPENDING THAT LED TO THIS SHUT DOWN.
SO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE LEFT WING REPORTING.
