Dems Damage Military Healthcare and Medicare
I noted that the Dems decreed a 21% cut in Medicare reimbursement rates effective March 1, 2010.
How does this impact Military Healthcare you ask? Well it seems the Military Healthplan known as TRICARE (for all civilian Doctor and Hospital treatment of Soldiers and all dependents) has benefit levels that are directly linked to Medicare. So, if Medicare is cut, they have also cut Military TRICARE.
How does this impact me? Well, figure there are doctors who might just refuse to continue treating folks because the Doc just can't afford to treat you for a financial loss.... so the result is; Docs must stop taking Medicare and TRICARE patients.
The Dems have succcessfully reduced your access to medical care.
