Comment on No Medicare For Mitt by Leftist Moderates Speak

I was very offended when I read this article. I don’t think Mitt Romney has a clue what the entitlement system means to people who are dependant upon it. I don’t believe anyone with the kind of wealth he has would. I think this comment by Romney, among others, show his complete disconnect from issues important to the American people. Obviously he and the new GOP have no clue. It would be a grave mistake to vote him in.

Comment on Six Solutions for Medicare Solvency and Reducing the Deficit by Gregory Manz

What ever happened to eliminating Medicare & Medicaid payments for Fraud & Abuse? If fraud was reduced to zero ($0.00) trillion dollars, then there would be no cost for RAC. The Medicare health care costs would decrease. Who is responsible for Medicare Operations anyway? There are 15 total jurisdictions that have total control of Medicare A & B Operations. They are MAC’s… Medicare Administrative Contractors… ALL of the MAC’s are, and have been, Insurance Companies. Why not deduct the costs of Fraud & Abuse, the costs of RAC’s from what MAC’s are paid? How much are MAC’s paid to manage Medicare operations? Who controls the MAC’s? Who audits the MAC’s?

I agree that it is not right to take something from a “rich” person just because they are rich. However, when in the time of sacrifice such as we have now it it right to ask everybody to contribute what they can. The non-rich can give up some benefits and the rich can give up more in tax payments during the time of sacrifice.

I agree. Medicare should be left alone or enhanced not gutted by government. This lack of compassion hopefully will catch up with these law makers, everything changes and they just might find themselves or loved ones on medicare and will soon find all the barriers set in place by greedy government officials.
Medicare was created for the people and should stay in place for all to use.

Comment on When Is a Hospital Inpatient Stay Not an Inpatient Hospital Stay – Hospital “Observation Services” by WJK

This issue also raises ?’s about a patient’s right to give (or refuse) informed consent to medical treatment if Dr at ER says “I’ll admit you to hospital so they can keep an eye on you.” CMS should require that a patient should be clearly told if the order is Not for hospital inpatent placement, but is rather registered for outpatient observation. The financial costs can be so high to the patient if he finds out (after the fact) he was really an outpatient, and this anxiety can lessen his level of health when he has to worry about paying the unexpected medical bills.
