I don't follow the healthcare reform news every day because frankly, it gives me a headache. I was very surprised to read the other day that a proposal was on the table to lower the age of medicare to 55... Now, I understand that has been dropped, but why was it even on the table when Medicare is so far in the red?

If they cut the Medicare budget anymore, no Drs. will take it. As I understand it, currently if you are not already a patient, some Drs. will not take you on once you are on Medicare.

There is no reason to think that what we get out of this health care reform is going to improve health benefits for any of us. The costs will continue to go up, no matter what they are saying now. My health insurance went up $23.00 per month for less coverage in 2010. And my per office visit went from $20 co-pay to $30 co-pay. And I'm in a group plan.
