Snip inaccurate information and faulty logic.

We may very well see a large bounce soon. Medicare premiums are

to raise another 17% for 2005. This is on top of the 13.5%

for 2004. Costs were set to drop 4.5% in their payments to
physicians, but because of the wonderful Medicare overhaul,

now blocked. Many senior advocates are upset because this news

released as we enter a holiday weekend that is saturated with

hot news.

Grandma and Grandpa may now very well kick Bush out of the

House.

Maybe if you didn't have ambulance chasers like John Edwards
bringing bogus lawsuits to doctors you wouldn't have this

Do you think that all the false claims and fraud committed

the programs might also contribute to this cost? Or the cost of
purchasing the over-priced supplies and equipment, not to mention

salaries of overpaid administrative and management personnel?

High costs due to having to pay settlements to ambulance chasers

John Edwards.

That certainly answered the questions I raised, NOT.
You never did answer another posters question, are you a paid shill

just a fanatic?
Why did you snip the part about O'Neill?

O'Neill has nothing to do with medicare premiums.

Is it ok to be a trial lawyer if you are a Republican?

Edwards is a shady personal injury lawyer. O'Neill has nothing to do

the medical industry.

O'Neill claimed to have donated more to the Dems than Reps, but no
records could back up that claim. He lies almost as much as you do.

What the hell does O'Neill have to do with John Edwards or medicare
premiums?!?

2) Zell Miller -- esteemed Democrat Senator representing the

state of Georgia

His speech last night sounded like one of your posts, Gacky. One

the ones we thoroughly debunked about 1100 posts upthread.

You're delusional again.

To call Zell Miller an esteemed Senator is a great stretch. He is no
longer a Democrat,

Sure he is. Why wouldn't he be? Because he's nonpartisan during a time

war?

he is an opportunist,

An opportunist? That's a riot considering he's retiring from public

after his term is over.

That is cheap! It's will be about an $11/month increase
(to $78).
That's way less than anyone else's increase in Medical
Insurance.
The only place it's "a big deal" is in the
media and AARP.

To you or I it may seem to be inexpensive. Don't forget that
is only
1/4 of the payment, our tax dollars pay the other 3/4. The
seniors
also need to make their co-payments and up to the annual
limits. On

a

lot of their incomes, it is expensive.

I pay it. It is _cheap_ like he said. The deductibles can be
covered

by many

alternate PPO or HMO programs, or by buying more than Part A &
B

coverage.

When I worked, I paid a lot more for a lot less coverage. Of
course,

I didn't

have a government job so I had to co-pay for my insurance... just
like

now.

Anyone was able to buy cheap insurance before Johnson pushed
through

Medicare

and the Trial Lawyers took everything they could 'create' to
court.

That's

why you should vote Republican; they don't support a Welfare
State,

nor Trial

Lawyers.

Republican Drug program 645 billion plus.

Insurance company support, what has happened with your homeowners
insurance for the last two years?
I think I would rather follow the Welfare reform bills that pushed
work,
rather than support an administration that supports Wealthy Welfare.

Are you trying to say that you are a failure, that you cannot afford
Insurance or Prescriptions? What have you done with yourself, waited

the Government to "redistribute the wealth" so you can afford things?

do you even want them handed to you?

Anyone who tries can afford those things! Go get a job and quit

the Democratic Welfare Wagon.

Huh. You might want to tell that to Republican Senators Lindsay Graham
and
Orrin Hatch, both Trial Lawyers. But they, you've already got your
boogie
man, and it's trial lawyers, why should you let the truth about
expensive
health care (greedy pharamaceutical companies, utterly inefficient
system,
for-profit managed care companies) intrude on your so simple
explanation?

Talk about "oh so simple explanation"! The sad thing is that you actually
believe what you wrote, don't you.
