Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
First of all let's try and keep this non political. Second, I know the bill will undergo some changes, but who know what or how long.
So here is the question:
Considering the bill as passed, what effect does it have on retiree health care? At least two categories come into mind, a) before medicare and b) after medicare.
What does the bill call for? What does it provide? Are there increased cost? Will Medicare recipients have to get a 'Primary Care Phys.' if so when does that start? What is the effect on Medicare Advantage i.e. does it take separate legislation to stop funding or are the details in this bill?
I am sure there are other things I have not thought of, it just seemed like the bill has passed, now what does it mean to those of us are here. While economic assessments may be worthwhile, predicting bond rates, or future inflation may be thought provoking, but I would like to see a discussion on the health aspects.
Rich, it would be nice to see your opinion as to what it might mean to the average patient or doctor.
Moderators, if this goes political, feel free to delete post or the whole thread, but here's hoping it does not.
