Privatized Medicare

Privatized Medicare insurance is the republican answer to Obamacare (Medicare part A + B...), well, the republican reasoning is, because private, profit incentivized companies always do things better than the government.

Really?

These privatized insurance companies call your like bill collectors and lure you in with things like partial dental coverage and free-over-the-counter medications up to a certain dollar value each year, oh and much more!

But what is the catch?

Well, the catch is, (a little background) It has taken Medicare many years to convince doctors to join Medicare's low income program. Contrarily, these privatized insurance companies have nearly zero track record and only a handful of doctors who participate in their service. These privatized Medicare insures don't want to pay doctors at all! Why should they it cuts into their profit margin. And no, you definitely can't keep your own doctor. The doctors available to these privatized insurers are the slumlords of the medical profession.

So it is like really having no insurance at all or when you can see a doctor the service is long waits and shoddy meat packing plant care.

To clarify the issue, Obamacare is not Medicare, Obamacare is a set of rules such as, allowing people to keep their own insurance (including Medicare) , not being denied coverage because of existing conditions and many other vital benefits to consumers.

Republicans became rich as thieves taking money from insurance companies with the promise of repetitively attempting to overturn these necessary safety-net rules. Since then the republicans have turned to Russia to fund their opulent lifestyles. (no citation needed, refer to the impeachment trial)

Republicans have seen to it that Medicare was not the backbone of Obamacare, and still people are sold insurance policies that are as worthless as can be squeaking under the Obamacare rules.

These private insurers who are vying for Medicare's clients are full of promises and lots of gimmicks but it is the fairly large network of doctors that Medicare has taken many years to get on board that is sorely lacking. Theses private insurers tell you you can "go out of network"... read the fine print, not quite the case...

I don't pretend to know a lot about this field but I do know I am now stuck with a 200 dollar bill from a doctor not covered they have told me my Mercy healthcare doctor of 15 years is not covered by them either... I have switched back to Medicare. Think long and hard before you are taken in by this scam, their deal seems too good to be true... It is.

Medicare is not some republican concocted X-Files version of a government conspiracy, it is your life you are dealing with. Think long and hard before you switch from Medicare to a privatized plan and end up without quality healthcare.
