50% OF MEDICARE ADVANTAGE USERS TO BE DROPPED
Medicare's own actuary has reported that 50% of all Medicare Advantage users will lose their coverage within 5 years, thanks to the millions of dollars cut from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare – more than one half billion dollars in all!Since the beginning, we have all suspected that the grand and glorious ObamaCare plan would be implemented on the back of broken promises to seniors. Now, after the bill has been signed and we are having to pony up and pay the "pied piper," the facts supporting our suspicions continue to come to light.
In addition to 50% of seniors who will lose their Medicare Advantage coverage within the next 5 years, it turns out that at the outset, ObamaCare is to be funded in part by stripping Medicare of over $530 million.
Many doctors have already stopped accepting Medicare patients due to reductions in payment standards. Others are withdrawing from Medicare practice and sending their current patients elsewhere for care. Can you imagine how few Medicare doctors will be left when the Medicare payment pool is plundered of over half a billion dollars?
To add insult to injury, a new study by American Action Forum determined that seniors who manage to keep their Medicare Advantage will soon find themselves paying more and receiving less. The group's study reveals that Medicare Advantage programs are whittling down benefits while hiking premiums.
I am Ken Hoagland, Chairman of Restore America's Voice Foundation and the Repeal It Now.org campaign. I have been a grassroots conservative activist over three decades, battling for accountability out of Washington on senior issues, taxes, social security and other vital domestic policy. I led the grassroots charge in the successful 1989 Congressional REPEAL of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act, when We the People soundly REJECTED huge new tax hikes on senior citizens to subsidize yetanother unwanted, Medicare-altering national government healthcare program. We have fought this kind of fight before, AND WON!
But… Never has our nation faced a threat as pervasively destructive to our prosperity, freedom, and institutions of responsible self-government as we confront from ObamaCare. This massive, malign legislation MUST be repealed NOW!
I am working with Governor Huckabee and a dedicated crew of activists to make YOUR voice heard on Capitol Hill! Our delivery of half a million petitions the day before the U.S. House of Representatives vote strengthened the will of both House Members and the 47 Republican Senators who later voted for repeal. Our total so far of 2.1 million petitions for repeal is historic. We need the U.S. Senate to vote again to repeal ObamaCare and we only need four more votes – all Democrats – to be victorious! So we are hand-delivering petitions to their Senate offices along with thousands of citizen faxes to keep the heat on. And each new TV ad that Restore Americas' Voice puts on air intensifies the pressure upon Senators who might otherwise persist in ignoring YOUR voice, including many up for re-election, and moves us closer to FULL REPEAL!
Senators know ObamaCare is economically ruinous, unsustainable, unpopular. They know the 2012 election cycle will be divisive and the toughest fight of their lives. Senators also know open support of the astronomically expensive and Medicare-wrecking ObamaCare will sink their career. RIGHT NOW is the time to press the Senate to REPEAL OBAMACARE!
THE VOICE OF AMERICA IS CLEAR: WE DO NOT WANT OBAMACARE, WE CANNOT AFFORD IT, AND IT MUST BE REPEALED NOW!
SUCCESS IS AT OUR FINGERTIPS – We only need to keep informing the public of the facts, and compel four more Senators to change their vote and repeal ObamaCare!
Sincerely,
Ken Hoagland
