Once you hit 65 you are required to be in some form of Medicare. If they do away with the Advantage Plan, doctors will not see us. If they do away with the AP, we will have to purchase an additional prescription plan at an additional $40 a month. The advantage plans come with an additional premium so those of us who pay it should be able to have a CHOICE and KEEP IT. Obama and current members of the senate and congress we SURELY LOSE IF THEY TAKE THIS BENEFIT FROM US. We SENIORS VOTE and WE VOTE IN HUGE NUMBERS. I can't wait for '10 and '12 to make a clean sweep. In ADDITION, the GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE PLAN for government workers should be abolished when health care changes take place and they should be REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE VOTED ON FOR US.

Owning and operating 2 small, rural, skilled nursing facilities we deal with "Advantage" plans on a weekly basis. For a more realistic overview of these plans see Matt Sedensky's AP article at web address listed below. It accurately describes the reality of Advantage plans flaws. Advantage plans and Obamacare have different motivations but equal negative outcomes for Seniors. <a href="http://www.news-journal.com/search/content/shared-gen/ap/Finance_General/US_Medicare_Advantage.html" rel="nofollow">www.news-journal.com/search/content/shared-gen/ap...</a> All the hype about Advantage plans doesn't match what we see or what our patients and families experience.

Many doctors who will not take Medicare do take Medicare Advantage patients.

How old were you when you received treatments for those things while in Europe? I presume that after having been in Europe for those 34 years, you must be at least in your 50s,or possible even 60s by now. And I see you are back here in the USA. I wonder why, if it's so much better there. Psolaras in K.C. — Were you ever treated for cancer, heart disease, an organ transplant or a pacemaker in Europe during those 34 years?

A civilized country must not tolerate this political BS and lies as it happens in the US. Every one must have medical coverage! I have spent 34 years in Europe and never ever had to worry about my medical care and have to file bankruptcies due to medical bills. If the Congress, The Senate and this administration will achieve the 100% Medical Coverage for all US Citizens, then I am sure that USA is an undeveloped nation, and all of us must stop saying that USA is the best country. Same to all USA people if this issue will not be resolve by the end of this year. For the future, we may have consider voting for some new political parties with young folks and new ideas. All European nations have at list 5 and more political parties in their Parliaments.
