Destruction Of Healthcare Delivery System Underway

Destruction Of Healthcare Delivery System Underway
By HERB DENENBERG, For The Bulletin
Sunday, October 18, 2009
If you want to understand why Aetna, Independence Blue Cross (Keystone), and other insurance companies are dropping some, though not all, of their Medicare Advantage policies, you have to understand the way these plans have been tainted by President Obama and the Democratic proposals for Obamacare in its various forms. Their proposals, not yet enacted, will destroy the greatest health care delivery system in the world if enacted. But what they have already done has started to do serious damage to our system, as exemplified by what is going on with Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage plans are popular and have many advantages for senior citizens. So, naturally, Mr. Obama wants to kill them.
The trade association America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) describes Medicare Advantage plans as follows: “An increasing number of Medicare beneficiaries are choosing Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. Medicare Advantage plans offer a different approach to health care delivery than beneficiaries experience under fee-for-service Medicare. Instead of focusing almost exclusively on treating beneficiaries when they are sick, these plans also place a strong emphasis on preventive health care services that help to keep beneficiaries healthy, detect diseases at an early stage and avoid preventable illnesses. In addition, MA plans help reduce beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket costs by providing additional benefits not covered in the Medicare program and reducing cost-sharing for Medicare-covered benefits.â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
