Medicare info--thanks to bho most are getting "screwed"

Subject: FW: medicare information  So Important!!!

All of this may change even more.  Read all about it in the “Senior Times” in your Doctor’s office, or assisted living home and other places in Texas. Some of the proposals for “saving” Medicare include having the “rich” pay more, larger copays for everyone, and fewer authorized procedures with age and overall condition being a consideration.  Rich is defined as having an adjusted gross income of more than $100,000.  Most who aren’t “rich” don’t know this provision already exists, so that is a red herring.  Another proposal is to have the Government collect the premiums and then give you a certificate so you can buy private insurance.  Aren’t you overjoyed that we are going to be saved by Obamacare? Of course, if the USA goes into bankruptcy, and it could, then the Government will collect everything and nothing will flow back out. Total bummer for those of us on Social Security or Government backed retirements, or other “entitlements” like food stamps, or salaries. 60 years ago, the Tea Party might have made a difference.

Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.

For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but
important and you probably haven't heard about it in the Mainstream News:

"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, purposely
delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns. Send this to
all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the
bus.
