I'm guessing this Miller person posting here on A2k must be like some kind of medical professional like maybe a practical nurse (LPN) or perhaps even a RN because he/she seems to know pretty much everything there is to know about medicine. I am personally grateful to have such expertise. What I would like to know from Miller is "Will Medicaid survive the bush Administration" and "will the middle class survive ?"
It is Will Medicare or Bill Medicare. My doctor is always saying Bill, should it be Will.

Excuse me, I am going out to purchase various scientifically calibrated measuring/weighing/volume devices to dole out out my nutrition requirements for the month.
It's hard to measure out a 1/4 of a gram by feel.
MEDICARE PART B PREMIUMS TO INCREASE 11.2 PERCENT IN 2007
MEDICARE PART B PREMIUMS TO INCREASE 11.2 PERCENT IN 2007
The monthly premium for Medicare Part B will increase a projected 11.2 percent next year to at least $98.40, the Bush administration announced July 12. The current monthly premium is $88.50. According to a fact sheet from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, overall Part B expenditures increased by 11 percent in 2005, including a 10 percent increase in expenditures for doctors' services and an 11 percent increase for outpatient hospital services. "The main reason for these increases in total expenditures is the rise in the volume and intensity of doctor and outpatient hospital services over the last several years," the fact sheet adds. The document cited the rapid growth in services, including imaging, doctor-administered drugs, minor procedures, physical therapy, dermatology, lab tests, and evaluation and management services.
7M MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES TO REACH PART D 'DONUT HOLE' THIS YEAR
Seven million Medicare beneficiaries will reach the gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage known as the "donut hole" this year, according to a report released in July by the Institute for America's Future and New Jersey Citizen Action. Under the donut hole provision of the standard Medicare prescription drug benefit, beneficiaries pay 100 percent of total drug costs between $2,250 and $5,100 per year. Medicare then covers 95 percent of drug costs beyond $5,100. According to the report, the average Medicare beneficiary will reach the donut hole on Sept. 22. Average total drug costs per beneficiary for 2006 will be about $3,081, according to Jeff Cruz, a senior policy analyst at Institute for America's Future. The report calls on Congress to increase benefits and authorize Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

Yes, I intentionally post the same material on the NW site as I do the present site. But on the medical blogs, obviously I have to change the material.
I recently changed my avatar on the NW site to declare my undying love for my Chicago Cubs.
However, now posting from various issues of last week's Jerusalem Post ...
But later, posting about the Chicago Cubs will begin, after the Red Sox vs White Sox game, today in Fenway Park.
Go SOX!
Setanta knows too much about Salterton to be Sailfree.
Sailfree claimed to be a neurosurgeon. Setanta's more of a proctologist.
Well, set knows where most people get their ideas from.
