<<" If you were among the 31,000 Washington state seniors - 11,000 in King County - who were dumped by their managed-care plans late last year,>>

Everyone can see who they are "dumping"-the elderly.

Who uses the most medicine and other health care resources?-the elderly

Is this managed care firm "dumping"any of their young, healthy patients?

Was not the basic premise of managed care in the beginning, the idea of coverage at one rate for everyone? Now everyone must mean those who are young and healthy<g>. This country bought into managed care like they bought from a used car salesman many years ago.We loved the idea of getting more than we were paying for. Well now, we have some very wealthy managed care executives who have made millions off the massive enrollments managed care was able to ring up in the beginning. And now we are seeing thousands of elderly confused and scared about one of the most important issues in their lives!

It really is sad Cheryl! Funny thing is, we have a LOT of people worried about a lot of things in this country that may or may not happen. Well, if they don't die first, they ARE going to get old, and many may experience first hand this travesty that in now in motion!

Best to all,
Greg
