New Medigap Bill Offers Questionable Benefits

[Medigap]

My hopes are that the dirtbags will stay true to form. Bill introduced by Democrat (John Kerry for that matter) should not be able to pass the Republican House. A little bit of a trap for them, though. If the House passes it John Kerry and the Democrats look like heroes and advocates for Medicare recipients. If they don't pass it the Democrats will be able to point out to Medicare recipients that Republicans don't care about Medicare recipients.

I personally think it's a political trap. The Democrats don't believe it has any chance to pass under the currently Republican-controlled House but it sure is great ammo (along with other Medicare-related ammo) for the next election.

Please God don't let the Democrats controll the House, Senate, and Presidency ever again ... and while you're at it please tell the Republicans to get their heads out of their asses.

The unintended consequence is me losing my income.

Yeah, but lower income = lower taxes = more free money and benefits from Obama.

Every time the fricking Govt. gets involved, the premiums go up and the comp goes down. I've been expecting CMS to start having the supp agents qualify just like MA agents, prob. just around the corner now. I also expected to have supp plans and MA plans to merge and have a hybrid, with plan N that has happened. 2014 the F plan will have co-pays. Build that book fast and sell out. The handwriting is on the wall. I sure can pick a business to get into, like the chain of video stores I used to own. So what will I do next? Move to CA, CO or MI and start up a medical marijauna store?

Don't plan on coming to Mi for the marijuana store....they're everywhere. When that bill passed no one expected so many stores to pop up....now everyone is upset about the whole thing and they're talking about shutting them down

The "Socialist" are stronger than the "Capitalist."
