Congress should be more concerned with stopping Medicare fraud than cutting Doctor payments! If they could eliminate 90% of the fraud there wouldn't be a problem and the Medicare system wouldn't be in trouble. It's plain as the nose on your face to me!

For the life of me I don't understand how congress can keep fooling with our Medicare! Stop using Medicare as a tool to get your way. It's bad enough that the millionaires pay little or no tax but now they want to disable Medicare by cutting the Doctor's payments! Soon there won't be any Doctors...

This is good news, I know I almost went in the doughnut hole last year. Maybe they can figure out how to get rid of the doughnut hole and make it easier to understand. By and large though I have been happy with the Part D of Medicare.

Well I am over 70 so this wouldn't affect me but I'll be damned if I see the wisdom in this. How can someone 65 and 66 afford private insurance? I know I couldn't have! Thank God that Medicare was there for me. Like my Mama always said those politicians should be taken out behind the woodshed...

I read the article and I think it is a bunch of bull. Anyone who believes that Medicare cuts won't hurt Seniors go stand on their head! People can come up with some crap, just don't try to throw it my way, I already have hip boots on!

I feel for you classof63, it seems that Medicare must drown you in a sea of paperwork to get anything accomplished. Wasn't there something about a paperwork reduction act a few years ago? It hasn't filtered to Medicare yet. A paper for everything, yet they can not stop the fraud. Maybe they are...

Well ain't that just the pits? 40% more is a significant amount for Medicare part d! Don't they realize most of us Seniors are on a fixed income and do not have extra money to pay more for drug insurance? I think the whole problem is the drug companies that spend so many billions of...

Here's a way to stop church gossip: Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence...

I don't need a poll to tell me I would be worse off! I paid my medicare when I was working and now I want what I paid for. The politicians want to fatten the wallets of the insurance companies and the drug companies (the very people who put them in office with their huge contributions) at...

Well it's bad enough to get stuck in the proverbial doughnut hole, but to have a drug company over charge you and cause you to get in the hole sooner than normal is terrible! We seniors depend on Medicare and we depend on the Medicare people to look out for us and catch these thieves, that's...

This is much needed to weed out the Medicare crooks! I read that in some areas there are clinics that open up just to practice Medicare fraud then they close up and are gone in a few months before the government can track them down. Maybe this will stop them in their tracks and put them in the...

I have to agree with you Guy, if we have to shop for our own health insurance we are done for. Might as well let the fox in the henhouse. Medicare has worked for 50 years, it just needs a little tweaking. If you listen to the doomsday people then it will go broke next year. Just like Social...

Not only do I remember cars with chrome, I remember cars with runnin' boards! And rumble seats! Guess I'm old huh? Not complaining considering the alternative.

Hey Cece, welcome! I'll have to give pineapple a try for my knee pain. How much you think ya need to eat? Fresh or will canned work?

Well ain't that just the pits? Give us some hope against the most deadly disease on this earth and then try to rob us blind because they know they got us over a barrel. I feel so sorry for that woman. These drug companies have no soul. If my Mama were alive she would take them out behind the...
