Seniors under the bus already

"The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present

Monthly Fee of$96.40, rising to:

$104.20 in 2012

$120.20 in 2013

And

$247.00 in 2014."

These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposelydelayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns.

If it's false, why am I paying that much? Could it be that your link is false?

[dead man walking]

you've gove mannetech.

why are you wasting money on medicare?

[Andy83]

Probably because the doctor and hospital is nearby. But I can do the VA for free if I drive 100+ miles to Ann Arbor.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Va in Saginaw is closed, Andy

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Closer, I meant

You're paying $247? Did we skip 2013 completely?

Accept that you were dumb enough to believe a chain e-mail and move on.

It's a shame they're not going up. The average Medicare recipient is wealthier than the average worker paying into Medicare.

It isn't 2014 yet I don't think. I'm paying what the "chain letter" says for 2012. What are you paying?

Shaf, I know the make shift, limited service VA in Saginaw is closer. Been there. Done that. I live in Mt Pleasant. I said VA in Ann Arbor. My doctor and hospital arr 4 blocks from me now.

Major health insurers say a growing number of rate increases are tied to physician-practice acquisitions. The elevated prices also affect employers, many of which pay for their workers' coverage. A federal watchdog agency said doctor tie-ups are likely resulting in higher Medicare spending as well, because the program pays more for some services performed in a hospital facility.

The health care market is moving quickly (partially as an adaptation to Obamacare), and Obamacare isn't even close to fully implemented. I doubt any of the major cost projections for the next few years are accurate-- for any type of heath care.

[Andy83]

I'm so pleased that y'll know so much about Obamacare and Medicare. Yes Pinky, we're all richer than anybody paying into Medicare. The youngsters you're teaching should assimilate and rebel!

[milosz]

So you're paying the 2012 rate, that proves the unsourced 2013 and 2014 numbers (despite Snopes and the WSJ) are true?

[Andy83]

Oh stop it already dumbass. All those numbers from either source are bullshit. I know what they take out of my SS check monthly now and I've been in the system for 14 years. It's subject to change any time they fuckin' feel like increasing it and it never goes down.

[milosz]

The WSJ is bullshit, but your numbers are legit?

[Andy83]

My 2012 number on what I posted is legit. You want to argue about it? Just shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about or why.

Seniors are getting thrown under the bus because of the (real) $8 per year increase?

Why did you refer to a fictional $126.80 increase between 2013 and 2014?

[baffled]

What Pinky said. Fuck old people.

How do you know it's fictional? Because the blog you like is better?

[Andy83]

Yes and fuck you when you get older. There will be nothing for you! HaHaHaHa . Just keep working your dumb ass off all day every day and pay the ever rising tax. I want my checks ON TIME!

LOL at both of you-- you should know that the real numbers won't surface until after the election.

I know that Turd but Milosz hasn't caught on yet. All I know is what they're charging me now for something I seldom use.

Fuck it, I want to cut the money off now. What's the worst that can happen? A bunch of senior citizens with rusty walkers and full depends screaming at clouds?

Um, yeah. That's the point made in both links I posted originally.
