FALLING FOR US
We got a letter from Anthem Blue Cross yesterday. I have hardly recovered from the results on my nervous system.
The letter announced a cut in our Medicare Supplemental medical insurance.
Thet harumphed and took credit and all, but the fact is that this reduction is a direct result of passage of the Affordable Care Act.
I knew that it was coming, or should come, but I was prepared for some kind of trick result. But, not.
We will pay a small percentage less this year, about 0.2% less. Considering that it was getting bumped one or two percent up each year this is a nice trend starter.
I don't know why people oppose this act, although more and more are approving of it. There is money in the pocket and better care. Less hassle. And no pre-existing conditions. To say nothing of the fact that other people will benefit from this.
And the act is not a job killer as predicted by the liars on the other side. It will make new jobs. And lessen the deficit.
I know that you already know this but I am repeating it to amplify the fact that OUR MEDICAL INSURANCE PREMIUMS HAVE GONE DOWN!!!
