For anyone who is on Medicare now, look at your Doc bills, and the amounts Medicare has paid toward them.

If you haven't looked, do so. You will be shocked. Your Doc chances are, hasn't billed too much in the first place. What he/she actually is reimbursed by Medicare is about 1/4 or 1/5 of the actual bill!!! Barely enough to pay for the staff in his/her office, let alone malpractice insurance, cost of running the office, etc, and hopefully, some money for themselves.

And if you have a Supplement to Medicare like I do, you will also be surprised to see how little they contribute to the total original bill.

If anyone thinks this new Health Care Reform will do anything but actually ration care, and/or have Doctors stop practice because they can't stay in business, we all have another think coming.

Make sure your Leftie friends know the consequences of the actions of their Representatives and Senators before it's too late!
