Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Diane, I'm not sure what the answer is, and Ellen (the poster!) is out of town, and since this doesn't directly related to many or any of our young adult children, I'd suggest you followup directly with Kirk's office for further clarification. I don't know what else to tell you but to go directly to the source. Thanks. Laurie From: Diane Ruklic Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 10:33 AM IPADDUnite Subject: Medicare Cuts I'm confused about the Medicare cuts detailed by Mark Kirk. Are they saying that the government will pay less for MRI " S, hospice, durable medical, etc to the providers or are they saying that the seniors will actually be charged more for these very necessary services? Either way sounds like a total affront to seniors and their needs as their health declines. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Diane, Laurie and All, My DH (darling husband, Chuck)and I were talking about this very program last night. It does not have anything to do with our kids, per say, and the cuts concern one Medicare program--Medicare Advantage (it does say that in Ellen's post). It is a federally subsidized Medicare program. Hope that clear it up. Not sure why Ellen posted it.
