Medicare is a health insurance program for people age 65 or older, people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with end stage renal disease. There are different parts of Medicare to help cover specific services such as Part A helps with hospital bills, Part B covers medical insurance, and Part D covers medications.
When you hear the government talk about the ObamaCare you might get confused as you thought you were covered by Medicare which is funded entirely at the federal level. The reason you should be nervous is that under this new plan "ObamaCare" they want to take over Medicare and create a social medical service for everyone. This will add 40 to 75 billion dollars per year for a ten year period. Understand that these are immigrants, illegals, and the poor that get added to the system.
On Jan. 1, the cuts to Medicare Advantage started kicking in--$140 billion in lost federal funding. This will limit provisions for dental, eye and comprehensive prescription-drug coverage that these policies provide. It is not know how severe these cuts will be.
Beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will be forced to buy insurance or pay a fine because in order to pay for Obama Care, the Democrats have to get money coming in from somewhere. So what options do you have as a Medicare, recipient right now?
Social Service Coordinators launched Golden Touch, a social advocacy program designed to assist Medicare beneficiaries with identifying and enrolling into programs for which they are eligible. Today Golden Touch has grown to include over 8,000 public or privately sponsored programs nationwide. Initially some of the more popular programs included energy, nutrition, telephone, transportation, property tax, and co payment assistance.
Should you stop using any of your health benefits before ObamaCare health plan kick in- absolutely not. While politicians continue to make law changes you can still use your benefits and keep yourself healthy. So many free or discounted programs are available to you; in fact there are now over 200 different Pharmacy Assistance Programs that help qualifying Medicare beneficiaries with discounted or free medications.
Stay on the right track, get well informed, and remember you have benefits that you have worked long and hard for, do not let reformed laws scare you away from benefits you qualify for.
