Vladimir IIych Ulyanov rides again.

If you've been wondering what's happening to Medicare (some of my prescriptions aren't covered anymore and it was a fight to get my insurer to cover my 4 stents being put in), here's your answer.


I'll copy in the salient parts, but the rest is a short read.

Biden’s full-frontal assault on Medicare is becoming visible to America’s seniors. It will result in fewer patient choices, reduced benefits, and ultimately worse health outcomes. Biden’s efforts, assisted by Congressional Democrats, are destroying Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

CVS Aetna Chief Financial Officer Tom Cowhey told investors that the company may shed up to 10 percent of their four million MA enrollees next year. Humana CFO Susan Diamond suggested 5 percent of their enrollees may be dropped.

The Democrats promised that their Inflation Reduction Act would increase drug coverage for seniors... But seniors will be shocked on Oct. 1 when their Part D premiums skyrocket. Premiums were up 21percent last year and are likely to jump 50 percent this year. 

Nikolai Lenin told his apparatchiks. "Accuse them of what we do". Demos have been doing that since Social Security was passed.

If you know anybody who still thinks the Demos are protecting the Social Security empire, pass this along.

Troubling post on several levels. We are about to quit private insurance and sign up for a Medicare supplement ourselves. Who knows what is yet to unfold, increase, or get further balled up between now and the end of the year?
It also sounds like the stents going in have yet to be placed? If so, best wishes for healing and a good outcome.

Thank you, Mama. A good many writers have noticed how hard the Demos are working to put in place as much as possible before Fall. How much backbone The Verdict has placed in certain Rs has yet to be seen.

Stents are in as of 2 weeks ago. Things, my heart included, are chugging along.

Thank you.
