Hi, or good morning. As I have read many of your posts, I have a question that perhaps you can help me with. What I am looking for is a database that has the STATE expenditure on Medicare during the period of 2004 to 2008. I have been searching CMS, CBO and other sites, but am unable to find a database. As much of your original posts are based on statistics, I thought that maybe you could help. What I am specifically looking for are statistics for Missouri...as they actually passed some type of tort reform in 2004.
If you can and would please provide guidance about any known database, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Audrey

Hi - This is for your post on "Insurance and Medicare"--> HR 676
I thought you might like to see it. A good suggestion on what their plans might be, but not a great thing to put in the conservatives' face right now.

Then why did you respond. Google the house bill and read some of it, it is nothing like what Obama says on TV. Under Obamacare you cannot use a SS number the democrates made sure of that. What Obama says is truly wonderful and I wish that that is what we would get, but Obama does not write it up the house and senate do. If illegals where not going to get this do you think that La Raza and Lulac would be so silent on this matter. We have not heard a peep from either group, I wonder why. You know I think that you will respond because you can't help yourself

Under federal law illegals cannot have a job in the US, but millions due. Illegals have plenty of fradualent documents. If you think that illegals will not have access to Obamacare. Where do you live Mars

Employers want to hire illegals - it's cheap labor.
Medicare doesn't. They have very strict rules they follow including checking with SS. Illegals know that if they get caught they get deported and don't even try/
Also don't give me that "where do you live" crap. I suspect I know more about healthcare than you ever dreamed of knowing. I have no intentions of wasting time talking to an arrogent #####

I am trying to respond to a comment posted on the following article.
http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourhealth/policy/articles/six_critical_issues.html?CFC_cK=1242247049946
The post claims Medicare administrative cost per enrollee are higher than private insurers and references the following article which does not include enough information as to how the numbers were calculated.

Any suggestions

Yes Both bills have stated that illegals would not be covered. Funny how all things with this bill are not what they seem or what Obama says. If you want to further investigate this you will find out that in both bills all language that pertains to providing legal documents such as a social security card and all to prove that you are a US citizen cannot be used at all. So our politicians have legally side stepped the citizen issue. In short nothing can stop an illegal from getting free access to this system. They will get the best health care in the US for free. Do your math before you post

Nonsense!
Illegal immigrants have no access to SSI, SCHIP, Medicaid - even legal immigrants have no access to Medicaid until they have been here 5 years.
