AmeriChoice Health is also rumored to take a position on this reform. Recirculate those tax dollars? Help keep limo drivers working, benefits flowing and overpaid tax dollars remain in abuse. Medicare.gov as well as other Federal agency's encourage you to report any fraudulent activities, yet, the same government agencys were notified the way this company does business yet did nothing. Three years ago they were reported to these Federal agency's and as of todays date not only were they allowed to continue doing business but were never charged once. Protected vendor status sure, politics sure,limited government budgets sure, Federal and State officals looking the other way sure, and rather then stop these activities a strong desire not to rock the boat existed. Even with the vast changes in the laws and budgets,a hands off policy remains, you tell me what's wrong with this picture? The Government created this monster and now they don't know what to do about it, like shooting yourself in your own foot etc. Tons of money to advance their national growth, its market positions, tons of money for political donations, tons of money to send 75 millon back to its home office from New York state alone, tons of money to suppot National TV shows, tons of money to pay hugh State fines, tons of money to hire the very best law firms, tons of money to pay for bribes and kickbacks, tons of money for hugh salarys and bonuses, all done on the back of the American taxpayor, you see this company receives all its money from the Federal government. Should your tax dollars be held to a higher standard? Should the government agencys responsible for there review be held to that same standard?Should the IRS audit their corruption? Why has this company not been charged? How long can the buck be passed here in more ways then one? Hey, it's your tax dollars don't complain now.. then don't complain later on… ps… I know times are tough for a lot us, but it would be great to have a free limo to go to the Doctors, Pharmacy, Movies, Grocery shopping, and given free tickets for the movies. Offered soda, pop corn and hotdogs, as well as have them receive free coupons for Grocery items……Kind of makes you wish you also had Medicare and Mediciad right?

On the other hand, I feel like I'm a sort of pawn in this game, and expendable on the alter of iffy deficit reduction. In other words, the government is going to eliminate coverage for me, a senior, in order to achieve political objectives with no plan for a replacement. It seems strange, as well, that there's hardly been any outcry over ten million people losing their medical coverage, and, certainly no effective advocacy for this group.

They initially provided the great promise of providing all Medicare covered services for an affordable cost- by being coordinated in the delivery of care. In fact, at the hand of huge health care corporations, these plans have pilfered the pockets of millions of Medicare beneficiaries and all workers who pay into the Medicare program and health care providers over these many years. And when the profits run out- they leave a community high and dry. Profiteering is their aim- not the provision of affordable quality health care.

I see no requirement that the insurance companies must provide the same or similar medicare advantage programs for the same or similar cost. I have yet to find a substantive comment saying how this will work. AARP makes most of its money selling insurance, so I have big questions about their advocacy!
